npm install cohere-ai
The Cohere Typescript SDK allows access to Cohere models across many different platforms: the cohere platform, AWS (Bedrock, Sagemaker), Azure, GCP and Oracle OCI. For a full list of support and snippets, please take a look at the SDK support docs page.
Cohere documentation and API reference is available here.
``
npm i -s cohere-ai
`typescript
import { CohereClientV2 } from "cohere-ai";
const cohere = new CohereClientV2({});
(async () => {
const response = await cohere.chat({
model: 'command-a-03-2025',
messages: [
{
role: 'user',
content: 'hello world!',
},
],
});
console.log(response);
})();
`
The SDK supports streaming endpoints. To take advantage of this feature for chat,
use chatStream.
`typescript
import { CohereClientV2 } from "cohere-ai";
const cohere = new CohereClientV2({});
(async () => {
const stream = await cohere.chatStream({
model: 'command-a-03-2025',
messages: [
{
role: 'user',
content: 'hello world!',
},
],
});
for await (const chatEvent of stream) {
if (chatEvent.type === 'content-delta') {
console.log(chatEvent.delta?.message);
}
}
})();
`
When the API returns a non-success status code (4xx or 5xx response),
a subclass of CohereError will be thrown:
`TypeScript
import { CohereClientV2, CohereError, CohereTimeoutError } from "cohere-ai";
const cohere = new CohereClient({
token: "YOUR_API_KEY",
});
(async () => {
try {
await cohere.generate(/ ... /);
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof CohereTimeoutError) {
console.log("Request timed out", err);
} else if (err instanceof CohereError) {
// catch all errors
console.log(err.statusCode);
console.log(err.message);
console.log(err.body);
}
}
})();

This SDK is in beta, and while we will try to avoid it, there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning the package version to a specific version in your package.json file. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, the code is generated programmatically. Additions made directly would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is. We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!
On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
