Query a corpus with query parameters

GET 
/v2/corpora/:corpus_key/query

Queries a single corpus with a simple request. The Query APIs support Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). They search your data and generate AI-powered summaries.

The platform provides three query types:

• Single corpus query: A simple search within a single corpus.
• Advanced single corpus query: Full search and RAG within one corpus. Supports table summarization, metadata filtering, and reranking.
• Multiple corpora query: A search across one or more corpora with full RAG capabilities.

Set these parameters:

• corpus_key: The unique key of the corpus to query. You create the key in the Vectara Console or the Create Corpus API. You can assign a custom corpus_key that follows your preferred naming convention. Search requests reference the corpus by this key.
• query: The search query string, which is the question you want to ask.
• limit: The maximum number of results to return. Default: 10, minimum: 1
