List documents

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

List documents with filename search, state and tag filters, sorting, and cursor pagination. Tag values use display names; use List tags to resolve the slots required for writes.

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

Unique knowledge base identifier.

minLength: 1

Query parameters

workspaceIdstringRequired

Workspace that owns the knowledge base.

minLength: 1

limitinteger

Maximum documents to return per page. Must be a whole number from 1 to 100. Defaults to 50.

default: 50
minimum: 1
maximum: 100

maxLength: 200

enabledFilterstring

Filter by whether documents are enabled for search.

default: all
enum: ["all","enabled","disabled"]

enum: ["filename","fileSize","tokenCount","chunkCount","uploadedAt","processingStatus","enabled"]

sortOrderstring

Sort direction.

default: desc
enum: ["asc","desc"]

cursorstring

Opaque cursor from the previous page. Send it back with the same sort and filters; only limit may change. Change anything else and pagination must restart without a cursor.

Every filter must hold, including two that name the same tag. A name that is not defined in this knowledge base is rejected, never ignored.
