OpenAPI Specification

haystack-ai-files-api-openapi.yml Raw ↑
openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: deepset Cloud API (deepset AI Platform) Files API
  description: Hosted REST API for the deepset AI Platform (deepset Cloud), the commercial product built on the open-source Haystack framework. The API lets you manage workspaces, create and deploy Haystack pipelines, upload and index files, and run searches against deployed pipelines. All resource endpoints are prefixed with /api/v1 and authenticated with a Bearer API key generated in the platform UI. The open-source Haystack framework itself is a Python library, not a hosted REST API; this specification models only the documented deepset Cloud REST endpoints.
