# Configure routes

Routes are an essential part of your Turing Router setup. Each route is defined by its ID and the endpoint. A route can be your deployed ML model, exposed via HTTP interface, or an arbitrary non-ML web-service. Each router should be configured with at least one route and each route's ID should be unique among other routes of this router.

The request sent to the each route is constructed from the request headers to the Router (including an identifier `Turing-Req-Id` that is uniquely assigned to each request received by the Router), and either the request body to the Router (if there is no Enricher) or the response body from the Enricher (if enabled).

For UPI Routers, the endpoint must support [UPI interface](https://github.com/caraml-dev/universal-prediction-interface). The default service method is `/caraml.upi.v1.UniversalPredictionService/PredictValues` and is not configurable. ![](/files/eejWOgMuEX3gmNF56dVh)

{% hint style="info" %}
You should also configure timeouts for each of the routes. The request execution will be terminated, when this timeout is exceeded during a call from Turing to the route's endpoint.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.caraml.dev/user-guides/router/create-a-router/configure-routes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
