Upload Document Contents

Headers

AuthorizationstringRequired

Bearer authentication of the form Bearer <token>, where token is your auth token.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
documentNamestringRequired
The name of the document you want to upload.
documentContentsstringRequired

The full LLM-formatted text contents of the document you want to upload.

allowedUsersEmailAddresseslist of stringsRequired
Users allowed to access the document. Unlike Credal's out of the box connectors which reconcile various permissions models from 3rd party software, for custom uploads the caller is responsible for specifying who can access the document and currently flattening groups if applicable. Documents can also be marked as internal public.
uploadAsUserEmailstringRequired

[Legacy] The user on behalf of whom the document should be uploaded. In most cases, this can simply be the email of the developer making the API call. This field will be removed in the future in favor of purely specifying permissions via allowedUsersEmailAddresses.

documentExternalIdstringRequired
The external ID of the document. This is typically the ID as it exists in its original external system. Uploads to the same external ID will update the document in Credal.
documentExternalUrlstringOptional
The external URL of the document you want to upload. If provided Credal will link to this URL.
customMetadatamap from strings to anyOptional
Optional JSON representing any custom metadata for this document
collectionIdstringOptional

If specified, the document will also be added to the provided document collection. The document does not immediately start appearing in searches of that collection due to an asynchronous embedding process. To await this process and have this endpoint return only when that embedding process is complete, use the awaitVectorStoreSync parameter.

forceUpdatebooleanOptional

If specified, document contents will be re-uploaded and re-embedded even if the document already exists in Credal

internalPublicbooleanOptional
If specified, document will be accessible to everyone within the organization of the uploader
awaitVectorStoreSyncbooleanOptional
If specified, the API will wait for the vector store to be updated before returning. This is useful if you want to ensure that the document is immediately searchable after this call returns.

Response

This endpoint returns an object.
