Venice Characters

Characters are published personas on Venice — each one bundles a system prompt, a backing model, optional web access, and metadata (tags, ratings, adult flag). You apply a character to any chat by passing its slug via venice_parameters.character_slug.

Use when

• You want to build a character-selection UI or discovery surface.
• You want to ship an app with a preset persona (e.g. a coding coach, a philosopher, a game NPC).
• You need to adapt a character's underlying model (modelId) to match your capability requirements.

Three endpoints, all under Preview (API may change):

All three endpoints require authentication (Bearer API key or x402 SIWE) — see venice-auth. There is no unauthenticated public endpoint.
