Build Search for a Job Board

Build Search for Ecommerce

Create new chunk(s). If the chunk has the same tracking_id as an existing chunk, the request will fail. Once a chunk is created, it can be searched for using the search endpoint.
If uploading in bulk, the maximum amount of chunks that can be uploaded at once is 120 chunks. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Create or Upsert Chunk or Chunks

This route provides the primary search functionality for the API. It can be used to search for chunks by semantic similarity, full-text similarity, or a combination of both. Results' `chunk_html` values will be modified with `<b><mark>` tags for sub-sentence highlighting.

Search

This route provides the primary autocomplete functionality for the API. This prioritize prefix matching with semantic or full-text search.

Autocomplete

Get recommendations of chunks similar to the positive samples in the request and dissimilar to the negative.

Get Recommended Chunks

This endpoint exists as an alternative to the topic+message resource pattern where our Trieve handles chat memory. With this endpoint, the user is responsible for providing the context window and the prompt and the conversation is ephemeral.

RAG on Specified Chunks

This endpoint will generate 3 suggested queries based off a hybrid search using RAG with the query provided in the request body and return them as a JSON object.

Generate suggested queries

This route can be used to determine the number of chunk results that match a search query including score threshold and filters. It may be high latency for large limits. There is a dataset configuration imposed restriction on the maximum limit value (default 10,000) which is used to prevent DDOS attacks. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Count chunks above threshold

Get paginated chunks from your dataset with filters and custom sorting. If sort by is not specified, the results will sort by the id's of the chunks in ascending order. Sort by and offset_chunk_id cannot be used together; if you want to scroll with a sort by then you need to use a must_not filter with the ids you have already seen. There is a limit of 1000 id's in a must_not filter at a time.

Scroll Chunks

Update a chunk. If you try to change the tracking_id of the chunk to have the same tracking_id as an existing chunk, the request will fail. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Update Chunk

Update a chunk by tracking_id. This is useful for when you are coordinating with an external system and want to use the tracking_id to identify the chunk. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Update Chunk By Tracking Id

Get a singular chunk by tracking_id. This is useful for when you are coordinating with an external system and want to use your own id as the primary reference for a chunk.

Get Chunk By Tracking Id

Delete a chunk by tracking_id. This is useful for when you are coordinating with an external system and want to use the tracking_id to identify the chunk. If deleting a root chunk which has a collision, the most recently created collision will become a new root chunk. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Delete Chunk By Tracking Id

Get Chunk By Id

Delete a chunk by its id. If deleting a root chunk which has a collision, the most recently created collision will become a new root chunk. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Delete Chunk

Get Chunks By Ids

Get Chunks By Tracking Ids

Create new chunk_group(s). This is a way to group chunks together. If you try to create a chunk_group with the same tracking_id as an existing chunk_group, this operation will fail. Only 1000 chunk groups can be created at a time. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.

Create or Upsert Group or Groups

This route allows you to get groups as results instead of chunks. Each group returned will have the matching chunks sorted by similarity within the group. This is useful for when you want to get groups of chunks which are similar to the search query. If choosing hybrid search, the results will be re-ranked using scores from a cross encoder model. Compatible with semantic, fulltext, or hybrid search modes.

Search Over Groups

This route allows you to search only within a group. This is useful for when you only want search results to contain chunks which are members of a specific group. If choosing hybrid search, the results will be re-ranked using scores from a cross encoder model.

Search Within Group

Route to get recommended groups. This route will return groups which are similar to the groups in the request body. You must provide at least one positive group id or group tracking id.

Get Recommended Groups

Update a chunk_group. One of group_id or tracking_id must be provided. If you try to change the tracking_id to one that already exists, this operation will fail. Auth'ed user or api key must have an admin or owner role for the specified dataset's organization.
