Supported API Key Type:

Query ServicePersonal

The Query APIs enable Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), allowing you to search your data and generate AI-powered summaries. Vectara provides three query types to match different search needs:

• Single corpus query: For a simple search within a single data source.
• Advanced single corpus query: For full-featured search and RAG within one corpus, supporting advanced features like table summarization, metadata filtering, and reranking.
• Multiple corpora query: For searching across one or more corpora with full RAG capabilities.

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 or the Create Corpus API, and the corpus key is part of that process. 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.
• 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
