# Is a statement true of the text?

POST https://api.milliseconds.ai/v1/decision-machine-1/yes-no
Content-Type: application/json

Answers one or more statements with a yes/no and the probability. Add `when_true` / `when_false` to sharpen the boundary.

Send `text` for one result, `texts` for a batch wrapped as `{ results: [...] }`, or `image` (one image, at most 5 MB decoded, optionally with `text`; never with `texts`). The response carries `x-input-chars` (input characters) and `x-input-tokens` (input tokens billed for this call) headers. Each item of `texts` (and each of `statements` or `questions`) counts as one request against the requests-per-minute limit.

Reference: https://docs.milliseconds.ai/api/decision-machine-1/yes-no

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — A milliseconds API key, test\_sk-\{namespace}-\{entropy} or prod\_sk-\{namespace}-\{entropy}. Every /v1 route requires it.

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a YesNoRequest.

- `text` (string, optional) — The text to decide about.
- `texts` (list of string, optional) — Batch form: one result per text.
- `image` (string, optional) — One image: a `data:image/(jpeg|png|webp);base64,` URL, or bare base64 of a JPEG, PNG or WebP. 5 MB decoded at most. URLs are never fetched. May travel with `text` (extra context), never with `texts`.
- `detail` (enum, optional) — Image resolution: `low` 512 px, `medium` 768 px (default), `high` 1024 px longest edge. Higher sees more and bills more.
  - Allowed values: `low`, `medium`, `high`
- `statement` (string, optional)
- `statements` (list of string, optional)
- `when_true` (string, optional) — What makes the statement true. Improves accuracy.
- `when_false` (string, optional)
