Overview

SummarizeResponse is a Pydantic model representing the response from the Cohere Summarize API, containing the generated summary text and associated metadata.

Description

The SummarizeResponse model encapsulates the result of a summarization request. It contains three optional fields:

• id -- A generated identifier for the summary, useful for tracking and logging.
• summary -- The actual generated summary text produced from the input.
• meta -- An ApiMeta object containing API usage metadata such as token counts and billing information.

The model extends UncheckedBaseModel and allows extra fields via Pydantic configuration.

Usage

Use SummarizeResponse when working with responses from the Cohere Summarize API endpoint. Access the summary field for the generated text and the meta field for API usage tracking.
