POST/threads/{thread_id}/runs/{run_id}

Update run metadata

Updates the metadata attached to a run. Send the key-value pairs you want associated with the run; the metadata object supports up to 16 pairs, with string values and keys of up to 64 characters.

  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.

2 status codes
200Returns the updated run object, including its current status and metadata.
idstringrequired
The identifier, which can be referenced in API endpoints.
objectstringrequired
The object type, which is always `thread.run`.
Allowed:thread.run
created_atintegerrequired
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the run was created.

assistant_idstringrequired
The ID of the [assistant](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/assistants/migration) used for execution of this run.
statusstringrequired
The status of the run, which can be either `queued`, `in_progress`, `requires_action`, `cancelling`, `cancelled`, `failed`, `completed`, `incomplete`, or `expired`.
Allowed:queuedin_progressrequires_actioncancellingcancelledfailedcompletedincompleteexpired
required_actionobjectrequired
Details on the action required to continue the run. Will be `null` if no action is required.
last_errorobjectrequired
The last error associated with this run. Will be `null` if there are no errors.
expires_atintegerrequired
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the run will expire.
started_atintegerrequired
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the run was started.
cancelled_atintegerrequired
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the run was cancelled.
failed_atintegerrequired
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the run failed.
completed_atintegerrequired
The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the run was completed.
incomplete_detailsobjectrequired
Details on why the run is incomplete. Will be `null` if the run is not incomplete.
modelstringrequired
The model that the [assistant](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/assistants/migration) used for this run.
instructionsstringrequired
The instructions that the [assistant](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/assistants/migration) used for this run.
toolsarray<CodeInterpreterTool>required
The list of tools that the [assistant](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/assistants/migration) used for this run.
Default:[]
metadataobjectrequired
Set of 16 key-value pairs that can be attached to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format, and querying for objects via API or the dashboard. Keys are strings with a maximum length of 64 characters. Values are strings with a maximum length of 512 characters.
usageobjectrequired
Usage statistics related to the run. This value will be `null` if the run is not in a terminal state (i.e. `in_progress`, `queued`, etc.).
temperaturenumberoptional
The sampling temperature used for this run. If not set, defaults to 1.
top_pnumberoptional
The nucleus sampling value used for this run. If not set, defaults to 1.
max_prompt_tokensintegerrequired
The maximum number of prompt tokens specified to have been used over the course of the run.
max_completion_tokensintegerrequired
The maximum number of completion tokens specified to have been used over the course of the run.
truncation_strategyobjectrequired
Controls for how a thread will be truncated prior to the run. Use this to control the initial context window of the run.
tool_choicestring | objectrequired
Controls which (if any) tool is called by the model. `none` means the model will not call any tools and instead generates a message. `auto` is the default value and means the model can pick between generating a message or calling one or more tools. `required` means the model must call one or more tools before responding to the user. Specifying a particular tool like `{"type": "file_search"}` or `{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "my_function"}}` forces the model to call that tool.
parallel_tool_callsbooleanrequired
Whether to enable [parallel function calling](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/function-calling#parallel-function-calling) during tool use.
Default:true
response_formatstring | objectrequired
Specifies the format that the model must output. Compatible with [GPT-4o](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-4o), [GPT-4 Turbo](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-4-turbo), and all GPT-3.5 Turbo models since `gpt-3.5-turbo-1106`. Setting to `{ "type": "json_schema", "json_schema": {...} }` enables Structured Outputs which ensures the model will match your supplied JSON schema. Learn more in the [Structured Outputs guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/structured-outputs). Setting to `{ "type": "json_object" }` enables JSON mode, which ensures the message the model generates is valid JSON. **Important:** when using JSON mode, you **must** also instruct the model to produce JSON yourself via a system or user message. Without this, the model may generate an unending stream of whitespace until the generation reaches the token limit, resulting in a long-running and seemingly "stuck" request. Also note that the message content may be partially cut off if `finish_reason="length"`, which indicates the generation exceeded `max_tokens` or the conversation exceeded the max context length.
429Returned when the request rate limit is exceeded.
errorobjectrequired

Error handling

A 429 is returned when the request rate limit is exceeded. The thread_id path parameter and run_id path parameter must identify the thread and run to update. metadata supports up to 16 key-value pairs, with keys of at most 64 characters and string values.
