Model inference

POST

https://api.retrocast.com

/forecast

Perform inference with foundation models.

Model inference › query Parameters

model

string · enum · required

The forecasting model to use for inference. Note that only tabpfn-ts, moirai-2, chronos-2, and moirai-moe support exogenous variables.

Enum values:

timesfm-2

timesfm-2p5

moirai-moe

moirai-2

tabpfn-ts

tirex

tfc-global

aets

Default: tabpfn-ts

cloud

string · enum

Specify the cloud provider to use for inference. If none is set then any may be used depending on availability, including clouds not present in the below list (e.g. Oracle).

Enum values:

gcp

aws

region

string · enum

Specify the region to use. If none is set then any may be used depending on availability, including regions not available for direct selection (such as ap or uk). Note that the region specifies the region for processing, but the request still passes through a control plane in the US.

Enum values:

Model inference › Headers

Authorization

string · required

The Authorization header is used to authenticate with the API using your API key. Value is of the format Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE.

Model inference › Request Body

API request model for the model inference endpoint.

object[] · required

horizon

integer · min: 1 · max: 10000 · required

Number of steps to forecast given the frequency.

Example: 5

freq

string · enum · required

Frequency of the time series.

Enum values:

10S

min

5min

10min

15min

30min

Example: D

The amount of history to use when forecasting. This is the number of steps to look back in the target series. More history can improve the forecast accuracy, but can also increase the computation time. By default this is set to the max of model capability or the length of the provided target series, whichever is shorter.

Example: 20

Default: null

Default: [0.1,0.9,0.4,0.5]

Apply additional co-variates provided by TFC. Only supported by the following models: Moirai-2, Chronos-2, Moriai-MoE and TabPFN-TS.

Example: {"0":{"config":{"country":"US"},"type":"holidays"}}

Default: null

Optional model-specific configuration overrides.

Example: {"config":{"season_length":7},"model":"aarima"}

Default: null

Model inference › Responses

Success

Synchronous `POST /forecast` response. Always carries a completed forecast.

array[] · required

Per-input-series predictions.
