Lucidworks AI offers several APIs for managing and automating your AI implementation. You can use them to train and manage models, run synchronous and asynchronous predictions, preview and debug pass-through prompts and embedding model tokens, and chunk text. Lucidworks AI APIs let you control and customize your AI orchestration to suit your business needs by enabling developer teams to build out bespoke integrations and implementations.

​
Authenticate with the APIs

Lucidworks AI APIs require you to authenticate using Java Web tokens (JWT) tokens. Generate these tokens using the Authentication API, then include them in the request header.

​
Use the APIs

You can use the Lucidworks AI APIs in addition to, or instead of, the Lucidworks Platform UI, but some actions are only supported with the APIs. For example, you can use the custom model training user interface or the Models API to train and deploy custom models, but running predictions and chunking text require you to use the APIs. Some APIs are used in conjunction with other APIs. For example, use the Use Case API and Tokenization API to generate values for the Prediction API.
