Management Console

Security Control

Alibaba Cloud Model Studio provides an OpenAI-compatible Batch File API. Submit requests in bulk through files. The system processes them asynchronously and returns results when all requests complete or the maximum wait time is reached. Costs are only 50% of real-time calls. Ideal for data analytics, model evaluation, and other large-scale workloads where latency is not critical.

To use the console, see console guide.

Workflow

Prerequisites

You can call the Batch File API through the OpenAI SDK (Python, Node.js) or HTTP API.

  • Get an API Key: Get and configure your Model Studio API Key as an environment variable

  • Install SDK (optional): Install the OpenAI SDK if you plan to use it.

  • Service endpoints

    • Chinese mainland: https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1

    • International: https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1

Important

The legacy Singapore domain https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com will be discontinued. Migrate to https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com as soon as possible.

Scope

Singapore

China (Beijing)

Supported models: qwen-max, qwen-plus, qwen-flash, qwen-turbo.

Supported models:

  • Text generation models: The stable versions and some latest versions of Qwen-Max, Plus, Flash, and Long. The QwQ series (qwq-plus) and some third-party models (deepseek-r1, deepseek-v3.2, deepseek-v3) are also supported.

  • Multimodal models: The stable versions and some latest versions of Qwen-VL-Max, Plus, and Flash. The Qwen-OCR model is also supported.

  • Text embedding models: The text-embedding-v4 model.

List of supported model names

  • Text generation models

    • Qwen-Max: qwen3.7-max, qwen3-max, qwen-max, qwen-max-latest

    • Qwen-Plus: qwen3.7-plus, qwen3.6-plus, qwen3.5-plus, qwen-plus, qwen-plus-latest

    • Qwen-Flash: qwen3.5-flash, qwen-flash

    • Recommended models: qwen-long-latest

    • Recommended models: qwq-plus

    • Third-party models: deepseek-r1, deepseek-v3.2, deepseek-v3

  • Multimodal models

    • Image and video understanding: qwen3.7-plus, qwen3.6-plus, qwen3.5-plus, qwen3.5-flash, qwen3-vl-plus, qwen3-vl-flash, qwen-vl-max, qwen-vl-max-latest, qwen-vl-plus, qwen-vl-plus-latest

    • Text extraction: qwen-vl-ocr

  • Text embedding models: text-embedding-v4

Important

  • In the batch processing scenario, the maximum context tokens per request is 256 K for qwen3.7-max, qwen3.7-plus, qwen3.6-plus, qwen3.5-plus, and qwen3.5-flash.

  • Some models support thinking mode. Enabling this mode generates thinking tokens and increases costs.

  • The qwen3.6-plus and qwen3.5 series models, such as qwen3.5-plus and qwen3.5-flash, have thinking mode enabled by default. If you use a hybrid thinking model, you must explicitly set the enable_thinking parameter. Set this parameter to true to enable the mode or false to disable it.

  • In the JSONL request body, enable_thinking is a top-level parameter of body and must be placed at the same level as model. Do not place it inside extra_body.

Getting started

Before processing formal tasks, test with the batch-test-model. This test model skips inference and returns a fixed success response, allowing you to verify your API call chain and data format.

Note

Limitations of batch-test-model:

  • Your test file must meet Input file requirements. Maximum size: 1 MB. Maximum lines: 100.

  • Concurrency limit: Up to 2 parallel tasks.

  • Cost: The test model does not incur model inference fees.

Step 1: Prepare the input file

Prepare a file named test_model.jsonl with the following content:

json
{"custom_id":"1","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/ds-test","body":{"model":"batch-test-model","messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are a helpful assistant."},{"role":"user","content":"Hello! How can I help you?"}]}}
{"custom_id":"2","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/ds-test","body":{"model":"batch-test-model","messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are a helpful assistant."},{"role":"user","content":"What is 2+2?"}]}}

Multimodal models (e.g., qwen-vl-plus) support file URLs and Base64-encoded inputs:

json
{"custom_id":"image-url","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"https://dashscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/images/dog_and_girl.jpeg"}},{"type":"text","text":"Describe this image."}]}]}}
{"custom_id":"image-base64","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEA8ADwAAD..."}},{"type":"text","text":"Describe this image."}]}]}}

Step 2: Run the code

Select a code snippet for your programming language. Save it in the same directory as your input file and run it. The code handles the full workflow: upload, create task, poll status, and download results.

To customize the file path or other parameters, modify the code as needed.

Note

Reuse an existing file ID: The ID returned after uploading a file (e.g., file-batch-xxx) can be reused. If the input content remains the same, skip re-uploading and directly create a task with the existing ID:

python
batch = client.batches.create(
    input_file_id="file-batch-xxx",  # Reuse existing file ID, no need to re-upload
    endpoint="/v1/chat/completions",
    completion_window="24h"
)

You can retrieve historical file IDs through the client.files.list(purpose="batch") API to query uploaded Batch file IDs.

Run a formal task

Input file requirements

  • Format: UTF-8 encoded JSONL (one independent JSON object per line).

  • Size limits: Maximum 50,000 requests per file, maximum 500 MB.

  • Line limit: Each JSON object must not exceed 6 MB and must fit within the model's context window.

  • Consistency: All requests in the same file must use the same model and the same thinking mode (if applicable).

  • Unique identifier: Each request must include a unique custom_id field within the file. This field is used to match requests with results.

Scenario 1: Text chat

Example file content:

json
{"custom_id":"1","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-plus","messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are a helpful assistant."},{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}}
{"custom_id":"2","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-plus","messages":[{"role":"system","content":"You are a helpful assistant."},{"role":"user","content":"What is 2+2?"}]}}

Scenario 2: Image and video understanding

Multimodal models (e.g., qwen-vl-plus) support file URLs and Base64-encoded inputs.

json
{"custom_id":"image-url","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"https://dashscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/images/dog_and_girl.jpeg"}},{"type":"text","text":"Describe this image."}]}]}}
{"custom_id":"image-base64","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEA8ADwAAD..."}},{"type":"text","text":"Describe this image."}]}]}}
{"custom_id":"video-url","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"video","video":"https://example.com/video.mp4"},{"type":"text","text":"Describe this video."}]}]}}
{"custom_id":"video-base64","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"video","video":["data:image/jpeg;base64,{frame1}","data:image/jpeg;base64,{frame2}","data:image/jpeg;base64,{frame3}"]},{"type":"text","text":"Describe this video."}]}]}}
{"custom_id":"multi-image-url","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"https://example.com/image1.jpg"}},{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"https://example.com/image2.jpg"}},{"type":"text","text":"Compare these two images."}]}]}}
{"custom_id":"multi-image-base64","method":"POST","url":"/v1/chat/completions","body":{"model":"qwen-vl-plus","messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"data:image/jpeg;base64,{image1_base64}"}},{"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"data:image/jpeg;base64,{image2_base64}"}},{"type":"text","text":"Compare these two images."}]}]}}

The Base64 strings in the examples above are truncated. Generate full encodings using the Python code below.

Pass Base64-encoded strings (using images as an example)

  1. Convert a local file to Base64 encoding:
python
# Encoding function: Convert a local file to a Base64-encoded string
import base64
def encode_image(image_path):
       with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:
           return base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode("utf-8")

# Replace xxx/eagle.png with the absolute path to your local image
base64_image = encode_image("xxx/eagle.png")
  1. Build a Data URL format: data:[MIME_type];base64,{base64_image};

  2. Replace MIME_type with the actual media type. It must match the MIME Type value (e.g., image/jpeg, image/png);

  3. base64_image is the Base64 string generated in the previous step.

Note

For full details (including file limits, MIME types, and encoding methods), see Pass local files (Base64 encoding or file paths).

**Select a specific model:**qwen-maxqwen-plusqwen-flash (thinking mode)qwen-flash (non-thinking mode)qwen-turbo

Enter your requests (one request per line):

Generate

1. Modify the input file

  • In the test_model.jsonl file, set the model parameter to the target model and set the url field:
Model typeurl
Model typeurl
Text generation/multimodal models/v1/chat/completions
Text embedding models/v1/embeddings
  • Or use the "JSONL batch generation tool" above to generate a new file for formal tasks. Ensure the model and url fields are correct.

2. Modify the Getting Started code

  1. Change the input file path to your file name.

  2. Set the endpoint parameter to match the url field in your input file.

3. Run the code and wait for results

When the task completes, successful request results are saved to the local result.jsonl file. If any requests failed, the error details are saved to the error.jsonl file.

Hangzhou West Lake is a famous scenic spot in China, located in the western part of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, hence the name \"West Lake\". It is one of China's top ten scenic spots and a World Cultural Heritage site (listed by UNESCO in 2011). It is renowned worldwide for its beautiful natural scenery and profound cultural heritage.\n\n### I. Natural Landscape\nWest Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides and borders the city on one side, covering an area of approximately 6.39 square kilometers, shaped like a ruyi scepter with rippling blue waters. The lake is naturally or artificially divided into multiple water areas by Solitary Hill, Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, and Yanggong Causeway, forming a layout of \"one mountain, two pagodas, three islands, and three causeways\".\n\nMain attractions include the following:\n- **Spring Dawn at Su Causeway**: During the Northern Song Dynasty, the great literary figure Su Dongpo, while serving as the prefect of Hangzhou, led the dredging of West Lake and used the excavated silt to build a causeway, later named \"Su Causeway\". In spring, peach blossoms and willows create a picturesque scene.\n- **Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge**: Located at the eastern end of Bai Causeway, this is where the reunion scene from the Legend of the White Snake took place. After snowfall in winter, it is particularly famous for its silver-white appearance.\n- **Leifeng Pagoda at Sunset**: Leifeng Pagoda glows golden under the setting sun and was once one of the \"Ten Scenes of West Lake\".\n- **Three Pools Mirroring the Moon**: On Xiaoyingzhou Island in the lake, there are three stone pagodas. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, lanterns can be lit inside the pagodas, creating a harmonious interplay of moonlight, lamplight, and lake reflections.\n- **Autumn Moon over Calm Lake**: Located at the western end of Bai Causeway, it is an excellent spot for viewing the moon over the lake.\n- **Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor**: Known for viewing flowers and fish, with peonies and koi complementing each other beautifully in the garden.\n\n### II. Cultural History\nWest Lake not only boasts beautiful scenery but also carries rich historical and cultural significance:\n- Since the Tang and Song dynasties, numerous literati such as Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, Lin Bu, and Yang Wanli have left poems here.\n- Bai Juyi oversaw the construction of \"Bai Causeway\" and dredged West Lake, benefiting the local people.\n- Around West Lake are many historical sites, including Yuewang Temple (commemorating national hero Yue Fei), Lingyin Temple (a millennium-old Buddhist temple), Liuhe Pagoda, and Longjing Village (the origin of Longjing tea, one of China's top ten famous teas).\n\n### III. Cultural Symbolism\nWest Lake is regarded as a representative of \"paradise on earth\" and a model of traditional Chinese landscape aesthetics. It embodies the philosophical concept of \"harmony between heaven and humanity\" by integrating natural beauty with cultural depth. Many poems, paintings, and operas feature West Lake, making it an important symbol of Chinese culture.\n\n### IV. Travel Recommendations\n- Best visiting seasons: Spring (March-May) for peach blossoms and willows, Autumn (September-November) for clear skies and cool weather.\n- Recommended ways: Walking, cycling (along the lakeside greenway), or boating on the lake.\n- Local cuisine: West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, Dongpo pork, pian'erchuan noodles.\n\nIn summary, Hangzhou West Lake is not just a natural wonder but also a living cultural museum worth exploring in detail. If you ever visit Hangzhou, don't miss this earthly paradise that is \"equally charming in light or heavy makeup\"."}}],"object":"chat.completion"}},"error":null}

Detailed procedure

The Batch API workflow consists of four steps: upload a file, create a task, query task status, and download results.

1. Upload file

Upload your JSONL file using the file upload API to obtain a file_id.

When uploading a file, the purpose parameter must be batch .

Note

Reuse an existing file ID: The ID returned after uploading a file (e.g., file-batch-xxx) can be reused. If the input content remains the same, skip re-uploading and directly create a task with the existing ID:

python
batch = client.batches.create(
    input_file_id="file-batch-xxx",  # Reuse existing file ID, no need to re-upload
    endpoint="/v1/chat/completions",
    completion_window="24h"
)

You can retrieve historical file IDs through the client.files.list(purpose="batch") API to query uploaded Batch file IDs.

 -H "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"

Replace batch_id with the actual value.

Response example

After you successfully cancel a task, the API returns detailed batch task information. The following is a response example for a task in cancelling status:

json
{
  "id": "batch_abc123",
  "object": "batch",
  "endpoint": "/v1/chat/completions",
  "errors": null,
  "input_file_id": "file-abc123",
  "completion_window": "24h",
  "status": "cancelling",
  "output_file_id": null,
  "error_file_id": null,
  "created_at": 1711402400,
  "in_progress_at": 1711402450,
  "expires_at": 1711488800,
  "finalizing_at": null,
  "completed_at": null,
  "failed_at": null,
  "expired_at": null,
  "cancelling_at": 1711403000,
  "cancelled_at": null,
  "request_counts": {
    "total": 100,
    "completed": 23,
    "failed": 1
  },
  "metadata": null
}

After you cancel a task, the status first changes to cancelling while the system waits for currently executing requests to complete. The status eventually changes to cancelled . Results from completed requests are still saved in the output file.

4. Download Batch result file

After a task completes, result files (output_file_id) and error files (error_file_id) may be generated. Download both file types using the same file download API.

You can download only files whose file_id starts with file-batch_output.

Advanced features

Set completion notifications

For long-running tasks, use asynchronous notifications instead of polling to reduce resource consumption.

Note

Completion notification is only supported in the Beijing region.

  • Callback: Specify a publicly accessible URL when creating the task.

  • EventBridge message queue: Deeply integrated with the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem. No public IP required.

Method 1: Callback

When creating a task, specify a publicly accessible URL via metadata. After the task completes, the system sends a POST request containing the task status to the specified URL:

OpenAI Python SDK

curl (HTTP)

python
import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    # If no environment variable is set, use api_key="sk-xxx" (not in production - risk of leaks).
    # API keys differ between regions.
    api_key=os.getenv("DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"),
    # Beijing region's base_url. For Singapore, use: https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1 and update the API key.
    base_url="https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1",
)

batch = client.batches.create(
    input_file_id="file-batch-xxx",  # The ID returned after uploading the file
    endpoint="/v1/chat/completions",  # For text embedding models, enter "/v1/embeddings". For the test model batch-test-model, enter /v1/chat/ds-test. For other models, enter /v1/chat/completions.
    completion_window="24h",
    metadata={
            "ds_batch_finish_callback": "https://xxx/xxx"
          }
)
print(batch)

Request example

curl
curl -X POST --location "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/batches" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
          "input_file_id": "file-batch-xxxxx",
          "endpoint": "/v1/chat/completions",
          "completion_window": "24h",
          "metadata": {
            "ds_batch_finish_callback": "https://xxx/xxx"
          }
        }'

Method 2: EventBridge message queue

This method requires no public IP and is suitable for complex scenarios that need integration with services such as Function Compute or RocketMQ.

When a batch task completes, the system sends an event to Alibaba Cloud EventBridge. Configure EventBridge rules to listen for this event and route it to a specified target.

  • Event source (Source): acs.dashscope

  • Event type (Type): dashscope:System:BatchTaskFinish

Reference: Route events to Message Queue for RocketMQ.

Going live

  • File management
    • Periodically delete unnecessary files using the OpenAI File delete API to avoid reaching storage limits (10,000 files or 100 GB).

    • Store large files in OSS instead of uploading directly.

  • Task monitoring
    • Use Callback or EventBridge asynchronous notifications.

    • If polling is required, set the interval to more than 1 minute and use an exponential backoff strategy.

  • Error handling
    • Implement handling for network errors, API errors, and other exceptions.

    • Download and analyze error details from error_file_id.

    • For common error codes, see Error codes.

  • Cost optimization
    • Consolidate small tasks into a single batch.

    • Set completion_window appropriately to allow greater scheduling flexibility.

Utility tools

CSV to JSONL

If your data is in a CSV file (first column: ID, second column: content), use this script to generate a JSONL batch input file.

To customize the file path or other parameters, modify the code as needed.

python
import csv
import json
def messages_builder_example(content):
    messages = [{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."}, {"role": "user", "content": content}]
    return messages

with open("input_demo.csv", "r") as fin:
    with open("input_demo.jsonl", 'w', encoding='utf-8') as fout:
        csvreader = csv.reader(fin)
        for row in csvreader:
            body = {"model": "qwen-turbo", "messages": messages_builder_example(row[1])}
            # When calling a text embedding model, set the url value to "/v1/embeddings". For other models, set it to /v1/chat/completions.
            request = {"custom_id": row[0], "method": "POST", "url": "/v1/chat/completions", "body": body}
            fout.write(json.dumps(request, separators=(',', ':'), ensure_ascii=False) + "\n")

JSONL results to CSV

Use this script to convert result.jsonl into result.csv for analysis in Excel.

To customize the file path or other parameters, modify the code as needed.

python
import json
import csv
columns = ["custom_id",\
           "model",\
           "request_id",\
           "status_code",\
           "error_code",\
           "error_message",\
           "created",\
           "content",\
           "usage"]

def dict_get_string(dict_obj, path):
    obj = dict_obj
    try:
        for element in path:
            obj = obj[element]
        return obj
    except:
        return None

with open("result.jsonl", "r") as fin:
    with open("result.csv", 'w', encoding='utf-8') as fout:
        rows = [columns]
        for line in fin:
            request_result = json.loads(line)
            row = [dict_get_string(request_result, ["custom_id"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["response", "body", "model"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["response", "request_id"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["response", "status_code"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["error", "error_code"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["error", "error_message"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["response", "body", "created"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["response", "body", "choices", 0, "message", "content"]),\
                   dict_get_string(request_result, ["response", "body", "usage"])]
            rows.append(row)
        writer = csv.writer(fout)
        writer.writerows(rows)

Fix garbled text in Excel

  • Use a text editor (such as Sublime Text) to convert the CSV file encoding to GBK, then open it in Excel.

  • Alternatively, create a new Excel file and specify UTF-8 encoding when importing the data.

Billing

  • Unit price: The input and output tokens for all successful requests are charged at 50% of the real-time inference price for the corresponding model. For more information, see Model list.

  • Billing scope:

    • Only requests successfully executed within a task are billed.

    • Requests that fail because of file parsing errors, task execution failures, or row-level errors do not incur charges.

    • For canceled tasks, requests successfully completed before the cancellation are still billed as normal.

Note

  • Batch inference is a separate billing item. It supports AI General-purpose Savings Plan, but not discounts, such as subscription (other savings plans) or free quotas for new users. It also does not support features such as context cache.

  • Some models, such as qwen3.5-plus and qwen3.5-flash, have thinking mode enabled by default. This mode generates additional thinking tokens, which are billed at the output token price and increase costs. To control costs, set the `enable_thinking` parameter based on task complexity. For more information, see Deep thinking.

Error codes

If a request fails and returns an error message, see Error codes for a solution.

FAQ

  1. How do I choose between Batch Chat and Batch File?

Use Batch File when you need to process a large file containing many requests asynchronously. Use Batch Chat when your business logic requires submitting many independent conversation requests synchronously with high concurrency.

  1. How is the Batch File API billed? Do I need to purchase a separate package?

Batch uses pay-as-you-go billing based on tokens consumed by successful requests. No separate resource package is required.

  1. Are submitted batch files executed in order?

No. The system uses dynamic scheduling based on compute load and does not guarantee execution order. Tasks may be delayed when resources are constrained.

  1. How long does it take to complete a submitted batch file?

Execution time depends on system resources and task scale. If a task does not complete within the completion_window, it expires. Unprocessed requests in expired tasks are not executed and do not incur charges.

Scenario recommendations: Use real-time calls for scenarios requiring strict real-time model inference. Use batch calls for large-scale data processing scenarios that can tolerate delay.
