# Classify

> **Beta.** Runs typed classification questions (`noul`, `choice`, `score`) against a classify model such as `typesafe/jev-latest`. The request and response proxy the TypeSafe classification contract 1:1; `model` in the response is the orq model id that served the request and `usage` carries the computed cost like the Responses API. This endpoint currently does not apply PII plugins or guardrails.

    description: >-
      Alerts evaluate a Reporting API metric on a fixed interval and fire
      notifications through notifiers when the value breaches a threshold. Each
      breach opens a trigger that tracks the incident until the value recovers.

      API keys authenticate programmatic access to the workspace. They expose

      constraints.
  - name: Audit Logs
    description: Audit logs record workspace entity changes and access-relevant events.
  - name: Budgets
    description: >-
      Budgets govern spend, token usage, and request rate across six scopes:
      workspace, project, identity, API key, provider, and model. Every
      applicable budget is enforced, and the most restrictive limit applies per
      dimension.

    description: >-
      Identities represent end users from your system for usage and engagement
      tracking.
  - name: Management keys
    description: >-
      Management keys are workspace-scoped credentials that authenticate
      programmatic access to workspace administration surfaces (API keys,
      budgets). Unlike project-scoped API keys, a management key always operates
      at the workspace level.

      Browse the orq.ai model catalog: every model orq offers, across every
      provider, with pricing, capabilities and benchmark data. List endpoints
      only return models that are not deprecated. This API is public, requires
      no authentication, and is rate limited to 120 requests per minute per IP.
      Responses carry a 5-minute cache-control max-age.
