Export knowledge base

GET/api/v2/knowledge/{knowledgeBaseId}/export

Stream a knowledge base as a bundle archive: its configuration, tag definitions, each workspace-visible document's file and chunk text, and optionally chunk vectors. Access-control lists, connector links, and credentials never leave. More than 2000 documents returns 413. Exports record an audit event. HEAD checks access with the same authorization as GET but skips side effects, returning an empty 200 without payload headers on success. HEAD omits Content-Length and cannot determine the download size.

OAuth scope: api:read.

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:read

knowledgeBaseIdstringRequired

Unique knowledge base identifier.

minLength: 1

Query parameters

workspaceIdstringRequired

Workspace that owns the knowledge base.

minLength: 1
maxLength: 128

vectorsboolean

Include chunk vectors so an import into a deployment with the same embedding model reuses them instead of re-embedding.

The caller lacks the rights this operation requires. When the cause is one a caller can act on, error.details.code names it. A resource in a workspace the caller cannot reach at all answers 404 instead, so absence and denial are indistinguishable.
