indexing

Index GDrive File

Index a single Google Drive file (by file ID) into a collection (headless).

post/v2/collections/{collection_name}/index/gdrive/file

Path parameters

collection_namestring required

Headers

authorizationstring nullable

Request body

service_account_jsonstring required

Google Cloud service-account JSON (as a string). Its OAuth client ID must be authorized for the drive.readonly scope in the customer's Workspace Domain-wide Delegation settings.

subject_emailstring required

Email of the Workspace user to impersonate. Must belong to the domain that authorized the service account. Drive content is read as this user.

file_idstring required

Google Drive file ID (the '/d/<id>/' segment of a file URL). Native Google Docs/Sheets/Slides are exported to PDF/XLSX automatically.

processing_type'advanced' | 'basic' required

Document processing type. 'advanced' uses agentic OCR with AI-enhanced extraction for complex layouts, tables, figures, charts, and documents containing images. 'basic' provides reliable OCR optimized for general document indexing and high-volume processing.

skip_existingboolean

When true, files already indexed in the collection are skipped and will not be re-indexed with incoming changes. When false, all incoming files are indexed regardless of whether they already exist.

mask_piiboolean

When true, detected PII (emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, names, and locations) is masked in the parsed content before it is embedded and stored — replaced with entity tags like <PERSON> and <EMAIL_ADDRESS>. For images (including images embedded in PDFs), PII text visible in the image is also pixel-redacted. Opt-in; defaults to false, which leaves content unchanged.

overwrite_existingboolean

When true, files that already exist in the collection are re-indexed and replaced with zero downtime: the new version is built alongside the live one and atomically swapped in when complete, so the previous version keeps serving search results throughout the rebuild. The document keeps the same document_id across overwrites, and its status reads 'updating' in the document listing while the rebuild runs. Requires skip_existing=false. Setting both to true returns a 400 error.

transcription_languagestring nullable

AWS Transcribe language code for the spoken audio (e.g. 'es-US', 'pt-BR'). Omit to auto-detect per file. Video and audio files only. Supported codes: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/supported-languages.html

custom_metadataobject nullable

Custom metadata to attach to all chunks from this file. Keys must be strings. Values: str, int, float, bool, or List[str].

parsing_scriptstring nullable

Relative path to a JS parsing script for JSON files (e.g. 'research/paper-parser').

Response
