Knowledge bases

Bulk update chunks

Enable, disable, or delete multiple chunks in one best-effort request. Unknown chunk IDs appear in `errors` without failing the request; `processed` counts matched chunks, not changes. Connector-synced chunks are read-only and return `403` with `error.details.code: "CONNECTOR_MANAGED_RESOURCE_READ_ONLY"`; change the source and re-sync, or exclude the document. Workspace API keys return `403`; use a personal API key or scoped OAuth token. OAuth scope: `api:write`.

OAuth scope: api:write.

Authentication

Send a personal or workspace API key in X-API-Key. See key types and access; operations that reject workspace keys say so in their description.

Send X-API-Key in the request header.

Alternatively

Send a Sim OAuth access token in Authorization: Bearer. See OAuth authentication and scopes.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Required scopes: api:write

Responses

200

Outcome of the bulk chunk operation.

object

Counts and per-chunk failures from a bulk chunk operation.

1 field
dataobjectRequired

Response data.

3 fields
operationstringRequired

Operation that was applied.

enum
["enable","disable","delete"]
processedintegerRequired

Number of chunks in this document the operation matched. Chunks already in the requested state are counted too, so this is not a count of changes.
