APIs & Integration
Request
The message a client sends to a server or API asking it to do something.
Example
A request includes the model name, prompt, and maximum output length.
Why it matters
It lets one system ask another to perform work in a repeatable form.
You'll hear it
“The request named the wrong account.”
Can you control it?
Set by the team
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Does sending a request mean it succeeded?
- No. It may be rejected, delayed or fail before the work is done.
- Can one request contain sensitive information?
- Yes. Its details can include personal records or access credentials.
- Can sending the same request twice have two effects?
- Sometimes. The service needs safeguards if repeated requests must not repeat the action.
