Authorizations

Authorization · string · header · required

Every request authenticates with an API key: Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}. App endpoints take an app API key; knowledge endpoints take a knowledge base API key (Get Started).

Keep keys server-side; never embed them in client code. Requests with a missing or invalid key fail with HTTP 401 (unauthorized).

Path Parameters

dataset_id · string<uuid> · required

Knowledge base ID. See List Knowledge Bases.

metadata_id · string<uuid> · required

ID of the metadata field to rename. See List Metadata Fields.

Body

application/json

name · string · required

New name for the field. Must be unique among the knowledge base's fields and at most 255 characters.

Response
