# Prediction API

DataRobot's Prediction API provides a mechanism for using your model for real-time predictions via serverless or dedicated prediction environments. Follow [the guidelines](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/predapi/dr-predapi-serverless.html) for making serverless predictions with the Prediction API. Serverless predictions use the REST API endpoint `/api/v2/deployments/:id/predictions` and do not require a `datarobot-key` header.

To access documentation for the dedicated server Prediction API, navigate to the [Dedicated Prediction API page](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/api/reference/predapi/legacy-predapi/index.html).
