Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

User session JWT or instance API key (iak_*). Send as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Path Parameters

knowledgeBaseId

string

required

Knowledge base id. Legacy physical prefix vs_ (the kb_ rename is deferred).

Maximum string length: 128

Pattern: ^vs_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$

documentId

string

required

Document id. Legacy physical prefix vsf_ (the doc_ rename is deferred).

Maximum string length: 128

Pattern: ^vsf_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$

Response

The document.

Association between a source and a knowledge base - the only membership model (no files registry). The server computes source_key and dedups on (knowledge_base_id, source_key).

fetch_url is intentionally ABSENT from this schema: it is write-only at the API boundary (may embed credentials). For source_type: uploaded_file no fetch URL is stored at all - storage mints a fresh short-lived one (as a privileged workspace) whenever the crawler needs bytes, so expired-token failures are structurally impossible for uploaded files.

string

required

Maximum string length: 128

Pattern: ^vsf_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$

object

enum<string>

required

Available options:

knowledge_base.document

knowledge_base_id

string

required

Pattern: ^vs_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$

source_type

enum<string>

required

Discriminator. uploaded_file for platform-native files (attached by native_file_id); remote_file for document bytes at an arbitrary URL; web_page for HTML pages (single URL or crawl-discovered); connector_document for sources owned by a third-party connector.

Available options:

uploaded_file,

remote_file,

web_page,

connector_document

source_key

string

required

read-only

Server-computed canonical source URI; the dedup key, UNIQUE with knowledge_base_id. prisme-file://{workspace_id}/{native_file_id} for uploaded files (stable across renames - never the rebuilt native URL); web://{normalized_url} otherwise. Normalization is conservative (strip fragment, lowercase scheme + host, normalize percent-encoding, strip default ports - query params untouched) and shared with the crawler's canonicalization.

Maximum string length: 2048

source_url

string<uri>

required

User-facing provenance URL - citations, UI links, audit logs. Stable by construction for connector documents (e.g. SharePoint webUrl) and web pages (the page URL). For uploaded files, a display URL (caller-overridable at attach time); downloadable links are minted lazily via GET /documents/{document_id}/source_url.

origin

enum<string>

required

Provenance, set at row creation and never overwritten by seed adoption. Seed deletion cascades only over origin: web_source rows - a manually attached page later discovered by a seed keeps origin: user and survives the seed's deletion (losing only its web_source_id).

Available options:

user,

web_source

status

enum<string>

required

Authoritative indexing status. Transitions are guarded by index_generation - stale or duplicate callbacks are ignored. fetch_expired is connector-facing: the stored ephemeral fetch_url no longer works and the owning connector must refresh it via the upsert (POST /documents with the same source_url); it is never a user-actionable error and never occurs for uploaded_file sources. rejected means an external hook (before_file_ingest / after_file_parse) blocked the content - see rejection_reason / rejected_by.

Available options:

queued,

in_progress,

completed,

failed,

fetch_expired,

rejected

created_at

integer

required

native_file_id

string | null

Platform-native file id when source_type: uploaded_file.

native_file_workspace_id

string | null

Workspace owning the native file. Defaults to the caller's workspace.

web_source_id

string | null

Primary producing/adopting seed (origin-of-record), when any. Multi-attribution (a page reachable from several seeds) is carried by parent_web_source_ids.

Pattern: ^seed_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$

parent_web_source_ids

string[]

read-only

All seeds whose crawl scope covers this page (multi-attribution, §F-5). Backs per-seed page counts and seed cascade-delete: deleting a seed removes it from this array and drops the row only when the array empties AND origin: web_source. Empty/absent ⇒ unattributed (counted in the /web_sources summary residual).

Pattern: ^seed_[A-Za-z0-9-]+$

crawler_document_id

string | null

Crawler-side document id, set once the crawler has seen this source.

index_generation

integer

read-only

Monotonically increasing per document; incremented on every (re)index. Search reads only the latest committed generation; a reindex swaps the new generation in only on success, so the previous good vectors remain searchable on failure.

Required range: x >= 1

filename

string | null

Maximum string length: 255

mime_type

string | null

bytes

integer | null

Required range: x >= 0

parser

string | null

Parser used at last successful parse.

parsed_at

integer | null

page_count

integer | null

Required range: x >= 0

char_count

integer | null

Required range: x >= 0

chunking_strategy

object | null

Per-document override of the store default.

scope

enum<string>

default:knowledge

Available options:

knowledge,

conversation

conversation_id

string | null

expires_at

integer | null

Unix seconds. TTL for conversation-scope documents.
