Is it possible for a hosted model on huggingface to take in additional parameters via API?

For example in python I can do something like

`model.generate(**inputs,num_return_sequences=10,top_k=50,length_penalty=0.3)`

But in the REST API I only see the ability to pass the inputs in, any suggestions?
