When a run has the status: "requires_action" and required_action.type is submit_tool_outputs, this endpoint can be used to submit the outputs from the tool calls once they're all completed. All outputs must be submitted in a single request.

Beta

Vector Stores

beta.vector_stores

Methods

Create Vector Store ->

VectorStore

post/vector_stores

Create a vector store.

Security

Bearer Auth

Example: Authorization: Bearer My API Key

Body parameters

chunking_strategy?:

FileChunkingStrategyParam

The chunking strategy used to chunk the file(s). If not set, will use the auto strategy. Only applicable if file_ids is non-empty.

expires_after?: { anchor, days }

The expiration policy for a vector store.

file_ids?: Array<string>

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

metadata?: unknown

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. Keys can be a maximum of 64 characters long and values can be a maximum of 512 characters long.

name?: string

The name of the vector store.

Response fields

Files

beta.vector_stores.files

Methods

Create Vector Store File ->
