Unable to Force Portkey to Use Bedrock Converse Endpoint

[dldereklee]

What Happened?

I cannot seem to figure out why Portkey sometimes decides to use the /invoke-with-response-stream instead of /converse-stream endpoint for Bedrock models . The /invoke-with-response-stream url does not work for our AWS account so I need to redirect all calls to /converse-stream

Looking at the Portkey docs, there doesn't seem to be a parameter that I can pass to specify which API it should go to.

What Should Have Happened?

There should be a parameter to specify which Bedrock API should be used for the model.

Hey @dldereklee yes, you can make the requests work through portkey for invoke, you can simply set this header
x-portkey-custom-host: https://bedrock-runtime.{your region}.amazonaws.com/model/{your model url encode if necessary}/invoke and make a request to /v1 . This will allow you to use portkey for authentication (IRSA/secret and access key, assumed role etc) but you will be required to send body in the invoke format itself

We'd migrated to /converse a while ago for maintainability since aws maintains it upstream.

When I try using x-portkey-custom-host and provide the /converse endpoint, Portkey appends /model/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1%3A0/invoke-with-response-stream to it.

So then in the Portkey logs, I see the url it is trying to use is

"url": "https://bedrock-runtime.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/model/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1%3A0/converse/model/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1%3A0/invoke-with-response-stream",

@dldereklee
Are you calling /v1 or /v1/chat/completions?
If you're using an openai compatible sdk, you need to be invoking client.post() instead of client.chat.completions() since you want to be using the gateway only for auth and not as a unified transformation route!
