API examples

This page provides examples and practices for managing Langflow using the Langflow API.

The Langflow API's OpenAPI spec can be viewed and tested at your Langflow deployment's docs endpoint. For example, http://127.0.0.1:7860/docs.

Export values​

You might find it helpful to set the following environment variables in your terminal.

The examples in this guide use environment variables for these values.

  • Export your Langflow URL in your terminal. Langflow starts by default at http://127.0.0.1:7860.

_10
export LANGFLOW_URL="http://127.0.0.1:7860"

  • Export the flow-id in your terminal. The flow-id is found in the Publish pane or in the flow's URL.

_10
export FLOW_ID="359cd752-07ea-46f2-9d3b-a4407ef618da"

  • Export the folder-id in your terminal. To find your folder ID, call the Langflow /api/v1/folders/ endpoint for a list of folders.

_10
curl -X GET \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/folders/" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json"

Export the folder-id as an environment variable.


_10
export FOLDER_ID="1415de42-8f01-4f36-bf34-539f23e47466"

  • Export the Langflow API key as an environment variable. To create a Langflow API key, run the following command in the Langflow CLI.

_10
langflow api-key

Export the generated API key as an environment variable.


_10
export LANGFLOW_API_KEY="sk-..."

Base​

Use the base Langflow API to run your flow and retrieve configuration information.

Get all components​

This operation returns a dictionary of all Langflow components.


_10
curl -X GET \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/all" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json"

Run flow​

Execute a specified flow by ID or name. The flow is executed as a batch, but LLM responses can be streamed.

This example runs a Basic Prompting flow with a given flow_id and passes a JSON object as the input value.

The parameters are passed in the request body. In this example, the values are the default values.


_11
curl -X POST \
_11
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/run/$FLOW_ID" \
_11
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
_11
-d '{
_11
"input_value": "Tell me about something interesting!",
_11
"session_id": "chat-123",
_11
"input_type": "chat",
_11
"output_type": "chat",
_11
"output_component": "",
_11
"tweaks": null
_11
}'

To stream LLM token responses, append the ?stream=true query parameter to the request. LLM chat responses are streamed back as token events until the end event closes the connection.


_10
curl -X POST \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/run/$FLOW_ID?stream=true" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json" \
_10
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
_10
-d '{
_10
"message": "Tell me something interesting!",
_10
"session_id": "chat-123"
_10
}'

This result is abbreviated, but illustrates where the end event completes the LLM's token streaming response.

Run endpoint headers and parameters​

Parameters can be passed to the /run endpoint in three ways:

  • URL path: flow_id as part of the endpoint path
  • Query string: stream parameter in the URL
  • Request body: JSON object containing the remaining parameters

Headers

HeaderInfoExample
Content-TypeRequired. Specifies the JSON format."application/json"
acceptRequired. Specifies the response format."application/json"
x-api-keyOptional. Required only if authentication is enabled."sk-..."

Parameters

Webhook run flow​

The webhook endpoint triggers flow execution with an HTTP POST request.

When a Webhook component is added to the workspace, a new Webhook cURL tab becomes available in the API pane that contains an HTTP POST request for triggering the webhook component, similar to the call in this example.

To test the Webhook component in your flow, see the Webhook component.


_10
curl -X POST \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/webhook/$FLOW_ID" \
_10
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
_10
-d '{"data": "example-data"}'

Retrieve the Langflow configuration information.


_10
curl -X GET \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/config" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json"

Build​

Use the /build endpoint to build vertices and flows, and execute those flows with streaming event responses.

The /build endpoint offers additional configuration for running flows.

For a simpler execution of your flows, use the /run endpoint instead.

Build flow​

important

This endpoint is meant to be used by the frontend and is not optimized for external use. To run your flow, use the /run endpoint instead.

This endpoint builds and executes a flow, returning a job ID that can be used to stream execution events.

  1. Send a POST request to the /build/{flow_id}/flow endpoint.

_10
curl -X POST \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/build/$FLOW_ID/flow" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json" \
_10
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
_10
-d '{
_10
"inputs": {
_10
"input_value": "Tell me a story"
_10
}
_10
}'

  1. After receiving a job ID from the build endpoint, use the /build/{job_id}/events endpoint to stream the execution results:

_10
curl -X GET \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/build/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000/events" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json"

The events endpoint accepts an optional stream query parameter which defaults to true. To disable streaming and get all events at once, set stream to false.


_10
curl -X GET \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/build/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000/events?stream=false" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json"

Build endpoint headers and parameters​

Headers

HeaderInfoExample
Content-TypeRequired. Specifies the JSON format."application/json"
acceptRequired. Specifies the response format."application/json"
x-api-keyOptional. Required only if authentication is enabled."sk-..."

The /build/{flow_id}/flow endpoint accepts the following parameters in its request body:

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
inputsobjectOptional. Input values for flow components.
dataobjectOptional. Flow data to override stored configuration.
filesarray[string]Optional. List of file paths to use.
stop_component_idstringOptional. ID of the component where the execution should stop.
start_component_idstringOptional. ID of the component where the execution should start.
log_buildsbooleanOptional. Control build logging. Default: true.

Configure the build endpoint​

The /build endpoint accepts optional values for start_component_id and stop_component_id to control where the flow run starts and stops. Setting stop_component_id for a component triggers the same behavior as clicking the Play button on that component, where all dependent components leading up to that component are also run. For example, to stop flow execution at the Open AI model component, run the following command:


_10
curl -X POST \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/build/$FLOW_ID/flow" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json" \
_10
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
_10
-H "x-api-key: $LANGFLOW_API_KEY" \
_10
-d '{"stop_component_id": "OpenAIModel-Uksag"}'

The /build endpoint also accepts inputs for data directly, instead of using the values stored in the Langflow database. This is useful for running flows without having to pass custom values through the UI.


_14
curl -X POST \
_14
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/build/$FLOW_ID/flow" \
_14
-H "accept: application/json" \
_14
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
_14
-d '{
_14
"data": {
_14
"nodes": [],
_14
"edges": []
_14
},
_14
"inputs": {
_14
"input_value": "Your custom input here",
_14
"session": "session_id"
_14
}
_14
}'

Files​

Use the /files endpoint to add or delete files between your local machine and Langflow.

There are /v1 and /v2 versions of the /files endpoints. The v2/files version offers several improvements over /v1:

  • In v1, files are organized by flow_id. In v2, files are organized by user_id. This means files are accessed based on user ownership, and not tied to specific flows. You can upload a file to Langflow one time, and use it with multiple flows.
  • In v2, files are tracked in the Langflow database, and can be added or deleted in bulk, instead of one by one.
  • Responses from the /v2 endpoint contain more descriptive metadata.
  • The v2 endpoints require authentication by an API key or JWT.

Files/V1 endpoints​

Use the /files endpoint to add or delete files between your local machine and Langflow.

  • In v1, files are organized by flow_id.
  • In v2, files are organized by user_id and tracked in the Langflow database, and can be added or deleted in bulk, instead of one by one.

Upload file (v1)​

Upload a file to the v1/files/upload/<YOUR-FLOW-ID> endpoint of your flow. Replace FILE_NAME with the uploaded file name.


_10
curl -X POST \
_10
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/files/upload/$FLOW_ID" \
_10
-H "accept: application/json" \
_10
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
_10
-F "file=@FILE_NAME.txt"

Upload image files (v1)​

Send image files to the Langflow API for AI analysis.

The default file limit is 100 MB. To configure this value, change the LANGFLOW_MAX_FILE_SIZE_UPLOAD environment variable. For more information, see Supported environment variables.

  1. To send an image to your flow with the API, POST the image file to the v1/files/upload/<YOUR-FLOW-ID> endpoint of your flow. Replace FILE_NAME with the uploaded file name.

_10
curl -X POST "$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/files/upload/a430cc57-06bb-4c11-be39-d3d4de68d2c4" \
_10
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
_10
-F "file=@FILE_NAME.png"

The API returns the image file path in the format "file_path":"<YOUR-FLOW-ID>/<TIMESTAMP>_<FILE-NAME>"}.


_10
{"flowId":"a430cc57-06bb-4c11-be39-d3d4de68d2c4","file_path":"a430cc57-06bb-4c11-be39-d3d4de68d2c4/2024-11-27_14-47-50_image-file.png"}

  1. Post the image file to the Chat Input component of a Basic prompting flow. Pass the file path value as an input in the Tweaks section of the curl call to Langflow. To find your Chat input component's ID, use the

_12
curl -X POST \
_12
"$LANGFLOW_URL/api/v1/run/a430cc57-06bb-4c11-be39-d3d4de68d2c4?stream=false" \
_12
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
_12
-d '{
_12
"output_type": "chat",
_12
"input_type": "chat",
_12
"tweaks": {
_12
"ChatInput-b67sL": {
_12

Logs​

Retrieve logs for your Langflow flow.

This endpoint requires log retrieval to be enabled in your Langflow application.

To enable log retrieval, include these values in your .env file:


_10
LANGFLOW_ENABLE_LOG_RETRIEVAL=true
_10
LANGFLOW_LOG_RETRIEVER_BUFFER_SIZE=10000
_10
LANGFLOW_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

For log retrieval to function, LANGFLOW_LOG_RETRIEVER_BUFFER_SIZE needs to be greater than 0. The default value is 10000.

Start Langflow with this .env:


_10
uv run langflow run --env-file .env
