## Generate code completions **(EXPERIMENT)**
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/415581) in GitLab 16.2 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `code_suggestions_completion_api`. Disabled by default. This feature is an Experiment.
> - Requirement to generate a JWT before calling this endpoint was [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/127863) in GitLab 16.3.
> - [Generally available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/416371) in GitLab 16.8. [Feature flag `code_suggestions_completion_api`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/138174) removed.
FLAG:
On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, an administrator can [enable the feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `code_suggestions_completion_api`.
On GitLab.com, this feature is not available.
This feature is not ready for production use.
NOTE:
This endpoint rate-limits each user to 60 requests per 1-minute window.
Use the AI abstraction layer to generate code completions.
```plaintext
POST /code_suggestions/completions
```
Requests to this endpoint are proxied directly to the [model gateway](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/ai-assist#completions). The documentation for the endpoint is currently the SSoT for named parameters.
```shell
curl --request POST \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
--data "<JSON_BODY>" \
--url "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/code_suggestions/completions"
```
Example body:
The [model gateway](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/applied-ml/code-suggestions/ai-assist#completions) is the SSoT for parameters.
Example response:
```json
{
"id": "id",
"model": {
"engine": "vertex-ai",
"name": "code-gecko"
},
