# Predict

ML Commons can predict new data with your trained model either from indexed data or a data frame. To use the Predict API, the `model_id` is required.

For information about user access for this API, see [Model access control considerations]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/ml-commons-plugin/api/model-apis/index/#model-access-control-considerations).
