Models API¶

Discover and list available Amazon Bedrock models across all configured regions through an OpenAI-compatible interface.

Why Choose the Models API?¶

Complete Catalog
Browse all available models across Amazon Bedrock regions. Chat, embeddings, images, and specialized AI services. See the Models page for a browsable table.
Always Up-to-Date
Dynamic model discovery automatically shows new models as they become available in Amazon Bedrock.
Multi-Region Aggregation
Combines models from all configured AWS regions in one deduplicated list; use the Search Models API to see per-region availability.
Comprehensive Coverage
Includes Bedrock foundation models plus AWS AI services (Polly, Transcribe) in one unified API.

Available Endpoints¶

Endpoint	Method	What It Does	Powered By	MCP Tool
`/v1/models`	`GET`	List all available models	Amazon Bedrock + AWS AI Services	`openai_model_list`
`/v1/models/{model_id}`	`GET`	Get details for a specific model	Amazon Bedrock + AWS AI Services	`openai_model_get`

OpenAI-Compatible with Amazon Bedrock Power¶

Features:

Multi-region aggregation: Combines models from all configured Amazon Bedrock regions
Comprehensive catalog: Includes Bedrock foundation models plus specialized models (Transcribe, Polly, etc.)

What's Different from OpenAI?¶

Provider ownership: owned_by field shows the model provider (e.g., Amazon, Anthropic, Mistral AI)
Model-specific capabilities: Modalities and context windows vary by model—consult AWS documentation for specifics

Created Date (created)

The created field is a Unix timestamp (integer) representing the time at which the model was released. This value is sourced from the Amazon Bedrock model lifecycle metadata (startOfLifeTime). If the release date is not available from Amazon Bedrock, it defaults to 0 (Unix epoch, January 1, 1970).
