API referenceList batches

List batches

GET/v1/batches

List batches.

Compatible with OpenAI's list-batches endpoint, newest first with cursor pagination. With a virtual key, the batches that key created, each read live from the provider (limit 1 to 100); with x-provider and x-api-key, the provider account's own list (after and limit passed through).

Authenticate with a BYOK virtual key or with x-provider and x-api-key; a PLATFORM virtual key is a 400. OpenAI credentials only; any other provider is a 422. Without x-retry-count a failed call is retried up to 3 times on 429 and 5xx.

Authorization

  • AuthorizationBearer <slug>.<secret>

    A virtual key's API key (vk-....<secret>), as Authorization: Bearer. What the OpenAI SDK sends from its api_key. Used by the inference endpoints.

  • orx-virtual-keyheader

    A virtual key's API key in the x-virtual-key header, for clients that keep Authorization for something else.

  • orx-api-keyheader

    Direct credentials: the provider's own API key in x-api-key, with the provider named in x-provider (for example openai). On /v1/messages a virtual key is accepted in x-api-key too, which is what the Claude SDK sends.

Query parameters

  • afterstring

    a batch id from a previous page: the list starts after it; omit for the first page

  • limitinteger<int32>

    how many batches to return; default 20

Headers

  • x-providerstring

    With direct credentials: the provider x-api-key belongs to, for example openai or anthropic (case and dashes are normalised). Not used with a virtual key.

  • x-retry-countinteger<int32>

    How many times to retry a failed provider call, 0 to 5. Without the header, chat completions, Claude Messages and prompt completions do not retry, and the other endpoints retry up to 3 times. Retries back off exponentially from 1 second and honour a numeric Retry-After. The number made is in the x-retry-count response header.

  • x-retry-status-codesstring

    Comma-separated provider status codes to retry on. Default 429,500,502,503,504,529.
