List vector store files

GET/vector_stores/{vector_store_id}/files

Returns a list of vector store files.

Path ParametersExpand Collapse

vector_store_id: string

Query ParametersExpand Collapse

after: optional string

A cursor for use in pagination. after is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, ending with obj_foo, your subsequent call can include after=obj_foo in order to fetch the next page of the list.

before: optional string

A cursor for use in pagination. before is an object ID that defines your place in the list. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 100 objects, starting with obj_foo, your subsequent call can include before=obj_foo in order to fetch the previous page of the list.

filter: optional "in_progress" or "completed" or "failed" or "cancelled"

Filter by file status. One of in_progress, completed, failed, cancelled.

Accepts one of the following:

"in_progress"

"completed"

"failed"

"cancelled"

limit: optional number

A limit on the number of objects to be returned. Limit can range between 1 and 100, and the default is 20.

order: optional "asc" or "desc"

Sort order by the created_at timestamp of the objects. asc for ascending order and desc for descending order.

Accepts one of the following:

"asc"

"desc"

ReturnsExpand Collapse

data: array of VectorStoreFile { id, created_at, last_error, 6 more }

id: string

The identifier, which can be referenced in API endpoints.

created_at: number

The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the vector store file was created.

last_error: object { code, message }

The last error associated with this vector store file. Will be null if there are no errors.

code: "server_error" or "unsupported_file" or "invalid_file"

One of server_error, unsupported_file, or invalid_file.

Accepts one of the following:

"server_error"

"unsupported_file"

"invalid_file"

message: string

A human-readable description of the error.

object: "vector_store.file"

The object type, which is always vector_store.file.

status: "in_progress" or "completed" or "cancelled" or "failed"

The status of the vector store file, which can be either in_progress, completed, cancelled, or failed. The status completed indicates that the vector store file is ready for use.

Accepts one of the following:

"in_progress"

"completed"

"cancelled"

"failed"

usage_bytes: number

The total vector store usage in bytes. Note that this may be different from the original file size.

vector_store_id: string

The ID of the vector store that the File is attached to.

attributes: optional map[string or number or boolean]

Set of 16 key-value pairs that can be attached to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format, and querying for objects via API or the dashboard. Keys are strings with a maximum length of 64 characters. Values are strings with a maximum length of 512 characters, booleans, or numbers.

Accepts one of the following:

UnionMember0 = string

UnionMember1 = number

UnionMember2 = boolean

chunking_strategy: optional StaticFileChunkingStrategyObject { static, type } or OtherFileChunkingStrategyObject { type }

The strategy used to chunk the file.

Accepts one of the following:

StaticFileChunkingStrategyObject = object { static, type }

static: StaticFileChunkingStrategy { chunk_overlap_tokens, max_chunk_size_tokens }

chunk_overlap_tokens: number

The number of tokens that overlap between chunks. The default value is 400.

Note that the overlap must not exceed half of max_chunk_size_tokens.

max_chunk_size_tokens: number

The maximum number of tokens in each chunk. The default value is 800. The minimum value is 100 and the maximum value is 4096.

minimum100

maximum4096

type: "static"

Always static.

OtherFileChunkingStrategyObject = object { type }

This is returned when the chunking strategy is unknown. Typically, this is because the file was indexed before the chunking_strategy concept was introduced in the API.

type: "other"

Always other.

first_id: string

has_more: boolean

last_id: string

object: string
