# CreateVectorStore

`POST /v1/namespaces/{tenant_meta.namespace}/vector-stores`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.endorlabs.com`
- URL: `https://api.endorlabs.com/v1/namespaces/{tenant_meta.namespace}/vector-stores`
- Auth: none declared

Creates an VectorStore.

## Path parameters

- `tenant_meta.namespace` string, required

## Request body

- VectorStoreServiceCreateVectorStoreBody: Represents a vector store in the system. The vector store will create all the infrastructure for semantic searches.
  - `meta` V1Meta, required: Common fields for all Endor Labs resources.
    - `annotations` object: Annotations can be used to attach metadata to a resource message. Annotation values can be small or large, structured or unstructured, and may include characters not permitted by labels. The keys may contain alphanumerics, underscores (_), dots (.) and dashes (-). The values of an annotation must be 16384 bytes or smaller.
    - `create_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was created. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
    - `created_by` string: Name and authentication source of the user who created the object, for example, ewok@endor.ai@google@api-key.
    - `description` string: Resource description. Must be less than 1024 bytes.
    - `index_data` V1IndexData: IndexData is used to index the resource for search. It's an internal object.
      - `data` string[]
      - `search_score` number, float: search_score is the score of the resource for search. Internal use only.
      - `tenant` string
      - `will_be_deleted_at` string, date-time: Time that the resource will be deleted.
    - `kind` string: Resource kind, for example, HelloResponse. Auto-generated using the protobuf message proto.MessageName().Name().
    - `name` string, required: Resource name. Must be 63 characters or less.
    - `parent_kind` string: Parent object resource kind, for example, Project.
    - `parent_uuid` string: Parent object UUID.
    - `references` object: Map of objects referenced in a query API.
    - `tags` string[]: List of tags attached to the resource. Tags can be used to select objects and to find collections of objects that satisfy certain conditions. A tag must be 255 characters or less.
    - `update_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was last updated. Note: Updated on all create/patch/delete operations. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
    - `updated_by` string: Name and authentication source of the last user who updated the object, for example, vulnerabilityingestor@endor.ai@x509.
    - `upsert_time` string, date-time: Time the resource was last upserted. Note: create_time is only set the first time the resource is created. upsert_time is set every time the resource is upseted. Format: 2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z RFC 3339: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt.
    - `version` string: Message version.
  - `propagate` boolean: Vector stores can be propagated and accessed in child namespaces.
  - `spec` V1VectorStoreSpec
    - `apply_uniqueness_index_changes` boolean: apply_uniqueness_index_changes explicitly authorizes migrating uniqueness indexes when the requested uniqueness_fields differ from the currently provisioned index. This must be true any time changes are made to the uniqueness_fields.
    - `dimensions` integer: Dimensions is the number of dimensions to be used.
    - `embedding_model` 'EMBEDDING_MODEL_UNSPECIFIED' | 'EMBEDDING_MODEL_OPENAI_TEXT_EMBEDDING_ADA_002' | 'EMBEDDING_MODEL_OPENAI_TEXT_EMBEDDING_3_SMALL' | 'EMBEDDING_MODEL_GOOGLE_TEXT_EMBEDDING_LARGE' | 'EMBEDDING_MODEL_OPENAI_TEXT_EMBEDDING_3_LARGE', required: EmbeddingModel is the model of the embedding provider.
    - `embedding_provider` 'EMBEDDING_PROVIDER_UNSPECIFIED' | 'EMBEDDING_PROVIDER_OPENAI' | 'EMBEDDING_PROVIDER_GOOGLE', required: EmbeddingProvider is the provider of the embeddings.
    - `search_index_fields` string: search_index_fields lists metadata fields that queries filter on beyond the uniqueness fields. A non-unique index is ensured on each field when the store is created or next opened, so equality filters on it can avoid a full scan. The declared set is authoritative: adding a field creates its index and removing a field drops it, both on the next open.
    - `uniqueness_fields` string: uniqueness_fields specifies which metadata fields are used for document uniqueness. When provided, a unique index is created on these fields at store creation time. All add/update/delete operations must include these fields in document metadata.
  - `tenant_meta` object: VectorStores are associated with a tenant or are global.
  - `uuid` string: The UUID of an VectorStore.
