Amazon Bedrock Runtime

2026/05/20 - Amazon Bedrock Runtime - 2 updated api methods

Changes  Supporting Request Metadata for Invoke Model and Invoke Model with Response Stream

InvokeModel (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'requestMetadata': 'string'}

Invokes the specified Amazon Bedrock model to run inference using the prompt and inference parameters provided in the request body. You use model inference to generate text, images, and embeddings.

For example code, see Invoke model code examples in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.

This operation requires permission for the bedrock:InvokeModel action.

For troubleshooting some of the common errors you might encounter when using the InvokeModel API, see Troubleshooting Amazon Bedrock API Error Codes in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide

type body:

bytes or seekable file-like object

param body:

The prompt and inference parameters in the format specified in the contentType in the header. You must provide the body in JSON format. To see the format and content of the request and response bodies for different models, refer to Inference parameters. For more information, see Run inference in the Bedrock User Guide.

type contentType:

string

param contentType:

The MIME type of the input data in the request. You must specify application/json.

type accept:

string

param accept:

The desired MIME type of the inference body in the response. The default value is application/json.

type modelId:

string

param modelId:

[REQUIRED]

The unique identifier of the model to invoke to run inference.

The modelId to provide depends on the type of model or throughput that you use:

type trace:

string

param trace:

Specifies whether to enable or disable the Bedrock trace. If enabled, you can see the full Bedrock trace.

type guardrailIdentifier:

string

param guardrailIdentifier:

The unique identifier of the guardrail that you want to use. If you don't provide a value, no guardrail is applied to the invocation.

An error will be thrown in the following situations.

  • You don't provide a guardrail identifier but you specify the amazon-bedrock-guardrailConfig field in the request body.

  • You enable the guardrail but the contentType isn't application/json.

  • You provide a guardrail identifier, but guardrailVersion isn't specified.

type guardrailVersion:

string

param guardrailVersion:

The version number for the guardrail. The value can also be DRAFT.

type performanceConfigLatency:

string

param performanceConfigLatency:

Model performance settings for the request.

type serviceTier:

string

param serviceTier:

Specifies the processing tier type used for serving the request.

type requestMetadata:

string

param requestMetadata:

Key-value pairs that you can use to filter invocation logs.

rtype:

dict

    'body': b'bytes'|file,
    'contentType': 'string',

    'serviceTier': 'priority'|'default'|'flex'|'reserved'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • body (bytes or seekable file-like object) --

      Inference response from the model in the format specified in the contentType header. To see the format and content of the request and response bodies for different models, refer to Inference parameters.

    • contentType (string) --

      The MIME type of the inference result.

    • performanceConfigLatency (string) --

      Model performance settings for the request.

    • serviceTier (string) --

      Specifies the processing tier type used for serving the request.

InvokeModelWithResponseStream (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'requestMetadata': 'string'}

Invoke the specified Amazon Bedrock model to run inference using the prompt and inference parameters provided in the request body. The response is returned in a stream.

To see if a model supports streaming, call GetFoundationModel and check the responseStreamingSupported field in the response.

For example code, see Invoke model with streaming code example in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.

This operation requires permissions to perform the bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream action.

For troubleshooting some of the common errors you might encounter when using the InvokeModelWithResponseStream API, see Troubleshooting Amazon Bedrock API Error Codes in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide
