Cohere

Generate text and structured JSON with Cohere Command models, create embeddings, rerank and classify text.

Add enterprise language models, semantic search and document ranking to business flows.

Build a flow with Cohere Provider API documentation

Source actions

Destination actions

Data types

Validation status

Implemented · fixture tested.

Implementation is checked against provider-shaped fixtures for every action, authentication failures, rate limits, pagination and duplicate safety. Provider sandbox and authorised account validation are recorded separately when credential-backed runs are completed.

What you can map

chat

Generate text (chat)
Destination
Not retried automatically
Generates a reply with a Command model (Chat API v2). Supply a JSON schema to receive structured JSON.

classification

Classify texts
Destination
Not retried automatically
Classifies up to 96 texts with labelled examples or a fine-tuned classifier (Classify API v1).

embeddings

Create embeddings
Destination
Not retried automatically
Embeds up to 96 texts (Embed API v2); returns one record per text.

models

Get model
Source
Metadata for one model, including endpoints, context length and features.
List models
Source
Models available to the API key, optionally filtered to one endpoint.

rerank

Rerank documents
Destination
Not retried automatically
Orders documents by relevance to a query (Rerank API v2); returns one record per ranked document.

Authentication

Cohere API key

Plans and access

Trial and production API keys from the Cohere dashboard. Trial keys are rate limited and not for production use. Model availability depends on the account.

Test environment

A free trial API key can be used for testing with reduced rate limits.

Rate limits

Per-endpoint request limits that differ between trial and production keys; HTTP 429 when exceeded.

Provider events

Cohere does not deliver webhooks for these APIs. Nexra event triggers are not yet available; flows run on demand or on a schedule.

Before you build a flow

Streaming, tool calling, document grounding and image inputs are not exposed; chat returns the final text.
Structured JSON output cannot be combined with documents or tools, as Cohere documents.
Classify is a v1 endpoint; Cohere marks the single prediction and confidence fields as deprecated, so both the old and new fields are returned.
Generation, embedding, rerank and classify are billed; they are write operations that must be enabled per connection and are never retried automatically.
