Index Supabase File

Index a single file from a Supabase Storage bucket into a collection.

Headers:

  • Authorization: Bearer {api_key} - Captain API key for authentication
  • X-Organization-ID: Organization UUID

Args: collection_name: Name of the collection (path parameter) body: Supabase file configuration with file_uri (object path within the bucket, e.g. reports/annual-review.pdf)

Returns: { job_id, status: "pending" }

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

Path parameters

collection_namestring required

Headers

authorizationstring nullable

Request body

access_key_idstring required

Supabase S3 access key ID (Storage → S3 Connection → access key).

bucket_namestring required
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].

endpoint_urlstring required

S3-compatible endpoint URL for your Supabase project's Storage S3 connection, e.g. https://{project_ref}.storage.supabase.co/storage/v1/s3 (Storage → S3 Connection). Required.

file_uristring required

Path to the object within the bucket, e.g. 'reports/annual-review.pdf'.

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.

parsing_scriptstring nullable

Relative path to a JS parsing script for JSON files (e.g. 'research/paper-parser'). When provided, .json files are processed through a sandboxed V8 isolate. Without this, .json files are indexed as raw text.

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.

regionstring

Region configured for your Supabase project's S3 endpoint (Storage → S3 Connection). Required by the S3 protocol; defaults to 'us-east-1'.

secret_access_keystring required

Supabase S3 secret access key (shown once when the S3 access key is created).

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.

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

Response

Successful Response
