- [Rate Limits](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/rate-limit.md)
- [Chat Completion](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/llm/chat-completion.md): Create a chat completion model that generates AI replies for given conversation messages. It supports multimodal inputs (text, images, audio, video, file), offers configurable parameters (like temperature, max tokens, tool use), and supports both streaming and non-streaming output modes.
- [Generate Image](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/image/generate-image.md): Use [GLM-Image](/guides/image/glm-image) series models to generate high-quality images from text prompts. Through quick and accurate understanding of user text descriptions, `AI` image expression becomes more precise and personalized.
- [Generate Image(Async)](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/image/generate-image-async.md): Use the [GLM-Image](/guides/image/glm-image) series models to generate high-quality images from text prompts. Through quick and accurate understanding of user text descriptions, `AI` image expression becomes more precise and personalized. Only supports `GLM-Image` model.
- [Retrieve Result](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/image/get-image-status.md): This endpoint is used to query the result of an asynchronous request.
- [Generate Video(Async)](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/video/generate-video.md): CogVideoX is a video generation large model developed by Z.AI, equipped with powerful video generation capabilities. Simply inputting text or images allows for effortless video creation.
- [Retrieve Result](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/video/get-video-status.md): This endpoint is used to query the result of an asynchronous request.
- [Audio Transcriptions](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/audio/audio-transcriptions.md): Use the [GLM-ASR-2512](/guides/audio/glm-asr-2512) model to transcribe audio files into text, supporting multiple languages and real-time streaming transcription.
- [Tokenizer](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/tools/tokenizer.md): `Tokenizer` is used to split text into `tokens` recognizable by the model and calculate the count. It receives user input text, processes it through the model for tokenization, and finally returns the corresponding `token` count. It is suitable for text length evaluation, model input estimation, dia…
- [Layout Parsing](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/tools/layout-parsing.md): Use the [GLM-OCR](/guides/vlm/glm-ocr) model to parse the layout of documents and images and extract text content. Support OCR recognition of images and PDF documents, returning detailed layout information and visualization results.
- [Web Search](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/tools/web-search.md): The [Web Search](/guides/tools/web-search) is a specialized search engine for large language models. Building upon traditional search engine capabilities like web crawling and ranking, it enhances intent recognition to return results better suited for LLM processing (including webpage titles, URLs,…
- [Web Reader](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/tools/web-reader.md): Reads and parses the content of the specified URL. Supports selectable return formats, cache control, image retention, and summary options.
- [Agent Chat](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/agents/agent.md): General Translation: General Translation API provides large model-based multilingual translation services, including general translation, paraphrase translation, two-step translation, and three-pass translation strategies. It supports automatic language detection, glossary customization, translation…
- [File Upload](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/agents/file-upload.md): This API is designed for uploading auxiliary files (such as glossaries, terminology lists) to support the translation service. It allows users to upload reference materials that can enhance translation accuracy and consistency.
- [Retrieve Result](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/agents/get-async-result.md): This endpoint is used to query the result of an asynchronous request.
- [Conversation History](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/agents/agent-conversation.md): This endpoint is used to query the agent conversation history.Only support slides_glm_agent
