Manage knowledge bases

Create, query, update, or delete knowledge bases in a workspace. This page covers the knowledge base itself; use the relevant task pages to add files and data sources, adjust segments, or maintain semantic entries.

Prerequisites

Prepare credentials that can access the target workspace. For service endpoints, authentication, and general request formats, see Make your first AI Studio API call.

Before creation, updates, or deletion, confirm the target knowledge base and its ID in the knowledge-base list or details.

Call sequence

  1. First list knowledge bases to decide whether to use an existing knowledge base or create a new one.

  2. At creation, choose the appropriate create action based on whether you provide data sources at the same time. Retain the returned knowledge base ID after creation.

  3. To adjust an existing knowledge base, first get knowledge base details, then update the target knowledge base.

  4. Before deletion, query details again and confirm deletion conditions and impact on the action page.
