  title: Vectara REST Agents Corpora API
  description: 'Vectara REST API v2 is the unified interface for the Vectara Retrieval Augmented

    Generation (RAG) platform. It exposes endpoints for managing corpora, uploading

    and indexing documents, running semantic and hybrid queries with grounded

    generation, managing agents, tools, pipelines, generation presets, and reading

    metadata.


    This OpenAPI 3.1 description is hand-curated from the public Vectara REST API

    documentation at https://docs.vectara.com/docs/rest-api/ and the published

    OpenAPI document at https://docs.vectara.com/vectara-oas-v2.yaml. It covers a

    representative subset of endpoints across corpora, documents, query, agents,

    tools, pipelines, and OAuth.
