  description: >-
    Specification of the Nuclia (Progress Agentic RAG) cloud API. Nuclia turns
    unstructured data - documents, files, audio, video, web pages and
    conversations - into searchable, queryable Knowledge Boxes. This document
    covers the regional NucliaDB REST API (Knowledge Boxes, resources and
    ingestion, search, find, ask/chat RAG answers) and the Nuclia Understanding
    API (NUA / Predict) endpoints. All endpoints are served from a regional
    zone host.
