# Cohere

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/usage/providers/cohere/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

[Cohere ↗](https://cohere.com/) build AI models designed to solve real-world business challenges.

## Endpoint

```txt
https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/cohere
```

## URL structure

When making requests to [Cohere ↗](https://cohere.com/), replace `https://api.cohere.ai/v1` in the URL you're currently using with `https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/cohere`.

## Prerequisites

When making requests to Cohere, ensure you have the following:

* Your AI Gateway Account ID.
* Your AI Gateway gateway name.
* An active Cohere API token.
* The name of the Cohere model you want to use.

## Examples

### cURL

```bash
curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/cohere/v1/chat \
  --header 'Authorization: Token {cohere_api_token}' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "chat_history": [
    {"role": "USER", "message": "Who discovered gravity?"},
    {"role": "CHATBOT", "message": "The man who is widely credited with discovering gravity is Sir Isaac Newton"}
  ],
  "message": "What year was he born?",
  "connectors": [{"id": "web-search"}]
}'
```

### Use Cohere SDK with Python

If using the [cohere-python-sdk ↗](https://github.com/cohere-ai/cohere-python), set your endpoint like this:

```js

import cohere
import os

api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY')
account_id = '{account_id}'
gateway_id = '{gateway_id}'
base_url = f"https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/cohere/v1"

co = cohere.Client(
  api_key=api_key,
  base_url=base_url,
)

message = "hello world!"
model = "command-r-plus"

chat = co.chat(
  message=message,
  model=model
)

print(chat)
```

## OpenAI-Compatible Endpoint

You can also access Cohere models using the OpenAI API schema through the [REST API](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/usage/rest-api/). Send your requests to:

```txt
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/v1/chat/completions
```

Specify:

```json

{
"model": "cohere/{model}"
}
```
