Properties

Name Type Description
id string The identifier, which can be referenced in API endpoints.
object string The object type, which is always `vector_store.file`.
usage_bytes integer The total vector store usage in bytes. Note that this may be different from the original file size.
created_at integer The Unix timestamp (in seconds) for when the vector store file was created.
vector_store_id string The ID of the vector store that the file is attached to.
status object The status of the vector store file, which can be either `in_progress`, `completed`, `cancelled`, or `failed`. The status `completed` indicates that the vector store file is ready for use.
last_error object The last error associated with this vector store file. Will be `null` if there are no errors.
chunking_strategy object The strategy used to chunk the file.
