Get Knowledge Base
Returns detailed information about a knowledge base, including its embedding model, retrieval configuration, and document statistics.
Authorizations
Every request authenticates with an API key: Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}. App endpoints take an app API key; knowledge endpoints take a knowledge base API key (Get Started).
Keep keys server-side; never embed them in client code. Requests with a missing or invalid key fail with HTTP 401 (unauthorized).
