  title: Nuclia RAG-as-a-Service Ask API
  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.

      summary: Ask a Knowledge Box (RAG generative answer)
      description: 'Ask a natural-language question against a Knowledge Box. Nuclia retrieves the most relevant context (semantic, keyword and graph search), builds a prompt and returns a generative answer with the supporting resources as citations. When the request sets `Accept: application/x-ndjson` (or the SDK streaming flag), the answer is streamed back as newline-delimited JSON / Server-Sent events.'
