  title: LlamaIndex LlamaCloud Index Index Data Sources API
  description: The LlamaCloud Index API provides a fully automated document ingestion pipeline with built-in retrieval capabilities. It allows developers to create and manage indexes (pipelines), upload documents for automatic parsing and embedding, and perform retrieval queries against indexed content. The API supports customizable pipeline configurations and integrates with various vector stores, making it suitable for building production RAG applications without managing infrastructure.
