- [Introduction](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/introduction.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.
- [Rate Limits](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/rate-limit.md)
- [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.
- [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…
- [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.
- [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,…
- [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.
