Simple Single Corpus Query

GET 
/v2/corpora/:corpus_key/query

Search a single corpus with a straightforward query request, specifying the corpus key and query parameters.

  • Specify the unique corpus_key identifying the corpus to query. The corpus_key is created in the Vectara Console UI or the Create Corpus API definition. When creating a new corpus, you have the option to assign a custom corpus_key following your preferred naming convention. This key serves as a unique identifier for the corpus, allowing it to be referenced in search requests. For more information, see Corpus Key Definition.
  • Enter the search query string for the corpus, which is the question you want to ask.
  • Set the maximum number of results (limit) to return. Default: 10, minimum: 1
  • Define the offset position from which to start in the result set.

For more detailed information, see this Query API guide.
