本页介绍了流式回答方法。
流式回答方法具有与回答方法相同的许多功能，外加一项额外功能：流式传输。流式传输答案时，生成的答案会分成多个部分，并按顺序发送。
如果生成的回答很长，那么流式传输回答会特别有用，因为一次性发送整个回答会导致延迟。流式传输回答可减少延迟。
限制
流式回答方法与回答方法具有相同的功能，但以下情况例外：
仅支持英语流式回答。
改写步骤数为 1。您无法停用改写功能，也无法更改步骤数上限。
您无法获取流式回答的接地分数，也无法选择仅返回接地良好的回答。
只有 Gemini 模型可以与流式回答方法搭配使用。 如需查看模型列表，请参阅可用模型。
逐字逐句给出回答
以下命令展示了如何调用流式回答方法，并以一系列 JSON 响应的形式返回生成的回答。通常，每个响应都包含回答中的一个句子。
此基本命令仅显示必需的输入。这些选项保留默认值。
如需查看其他选项的示例，请参阅获取答案和后续问题。某些答案选项不适用于答案流式传输；请参阅本页面上的限制。
REST
如需搜索并获取包含流式生成答案的结果，请执行以下操作：
运行以下 curl 命令：
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ "https://discoveryengine.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global/collections/default_collection/engines/APP_ID/servingConfigs/default_search:streamAnswer" \ -d '{ "query": { "text": "QUERY"} }'替换以下内容：
PROJECT_ID：您的项目的 ID。APP_ID：您要查询的应用的 ID。QUERY：包含问题或搜索查询的自由文本字符串。例如，“Which database is faster, bigquery or spanner?”。
示例命令和部分结果

It's the fastest-performing relational database in the market. We run it in all four environments: Our cloud, on-premise and on other clouds. And it's the only relational database that can run in any of those configurations. You see that in our adoption, both at the top end of the market where a system - for example, like Spanner, which is our large-scale database - scales 20 times better than the largest scalable system of any competitor.
