Days int64

The number of days after the anchor time that the vector store will expire.

minimum1
maximum365
FileIDs param.Field[[]string]optional

A list of File IDs that the vector store should use. Useful for tools like file_search that can access files.

Metadata param.Field[Metadata]optional

Keys are strings with a maximum length of 64 characters. Values are strings with a maximum length of 512 characters.

Name param.Field[string]optional

The name of the vector store.

ReturnsExpand Collapse
