Batches

Create a Message Batch
messages.batches.create(**kwargs) -> MessageBatch
POST/v1/messages/batches

Send a batch of Message creation requests.

Retrieve a Message Batch
messages.batches.retrieve(message_batch_id, **kwargs) -> MessageBatch
GET/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}

This endpoint is idempotent and can be used to poll for Message Batch completion. To access the results of a Message Batch, make a request to the results_url field in the response.

List Message Batches
messages.batches.list(**kwargs) -> SyncPage[MessageBatch]
GET/v1/messages/batches

List all Message Batches within a Workspace. Most recently created batches are returned first.

Cancel a Message Batch
messages.batches.cancel(message_batch_id, **kwargs) -> MessageBatch
POST/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}/cancel

Batches may be canceled any time before processing ends. Once cancellation is initiated, the batch enters a canceling state, at which time the system may complete any in-progress, non-interruptible requests before finalizing cancellation.

Delete a Message Batch
messages.batches.delete(message_batch_id, **kwargs) -> DeletedMessageBatch
DELETE/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}
Retrieve Message Batch results
messages.batches.results(message_batch_id, **kwargs) -> MessageBatchIndividualResponse
GET/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}/results

Streams the results of a Message Batch as a .jsonl file.

Models
class DeletedMessageBatch: type: "message_batch_deleted"; id

Deleted object type.

For Message Batches, this is always "message_batch_deleted".
