Read an ingest job

GET
/api/v1/documents/ingests/{id}
curl --request GET \
--url http://localhost:11044/api/v1/documents/ingests/example \
--header 'X-Embabel-Api-Key: <X-Embabel-Api-Key>'

Where the caller’s ingest has got: its stage, embedding progress, and how it ended.

id
required
string

The job’s UUID, as returned in the 202 of an ingest or embed-missing request (and its Location), or listed by GET /api/v1/documents/ingests. Another user’s job, or one forgotten after its retention, is 404

The job

Media type*/*

One document ingest job as its owner sees it: its stage, embedding progress, and how it ended. Answered by POST /documents/ingests, POST /documents/ingests/url, POST /documents/embed-missing and GET /documents/ingests/{id}

object
chunks

Chunks the stored document was cut into; null until the job succeeds, and when the store does not say

integer format: int32
chunksWithoutEmbeddings

Chunks of the stored document with no embedding, which never match a semantic search; null until the job succeeds, and when the store does not say. POST /documents/embed-missing can embed them

integer format: int32
error

Why the job failed, in words; null unless state is failed

string
id
required

Job id, a UUID; the {id} of GET /documents/ingests/{id}

string
name
required

What the job is called: the uploaded file’s name, the URL being ingested, or for an embed-missing job the document’s title (its URI when it has none)

string
progress

Chunks embedded so far, of how many; null until the job starts embedding

object
done
required

Chunks embedded so far; never more than total

integer format: int32
total
required

Chunks to embed: an estimate from the document’s text while the job runs, corrected to the true count when it succeeds; raised rather than exceeded when the document cuts into more

integer format: int32
resumes
required

Times the appliance restarted while the job was unfinished and picked it up again under the same id; 0 for a job that ran straight through

integer format: int32
startedAt
required

When the job was submitted, ISO-8601 instant

string
state
required

Stage the job is at: queued, waiting_for_memory, converting, writing, embedding, succeeded or failed; the last two are final

string
Allowed values: queued waiting_for_memory converting writing embedding succeeded failed
title

Title of the stored document; null until the job succeeds, and when the document has none

string
updatedAt
required

When the job last changed stage or embedded a batch of chunks, ISO-8601 instant; a value that stops moving while the job is unfinished suggests it is stuck

string
uri

URI of the stored document; null until the job succeeds

string

No such job for the caller

Media type*/*

A 404 from an ingest-job endpoint: no such job or document for the caller. A job may be unknown, forgotten after its retention, or somebody else’s

object
error
required

What was not found, as a sentence to show the user

string
