Add a text note (application/json: title, body), import a website (application/json: source: "website", url, optionally pages) or upload a file (multipart/form-data: file) to the knowledge base of the location location_id names, the main location’s when omitted. A site already imported at one of the locations is refused (conflict): import it again with PUT. location_ids makes a copy at each of those locations too, sharing copy_group_id. Answers 202 with the document, processing: the assistant uses it once document.updated reports it ready, or failed with status_error. The plan’s limits apply as in Talki: file size (payload_too_large), file type (unsupported_file_type), pages per site (invalid_parameter) and the account’s knowledge storage (payload_too_large, or a site failed with status_error). A JSON field the note or the website does not take is refused (invalid_parameter). Requires Idempotency-Key. Requires knowledge:write. Limited to 120 requests per minute per account (API key) or per installation (OAuth), and to 60 document writes per minute, shared by creating, replacing and updating documents and discovering a site’s pages.

location_id
Any of:
string

The location the document is for, an id from GET /v1/locations (inactive ones included). Omit it for the main location.

Talki-Version
string
Example
2026-10-01

Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.

Idempotency-Key
required
string
<= 255 characters

Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.

Example
faq-parking
One of:
DocumentCreate

A text note, sent as application/json. Its title and text are what the assistant reads.

object
source
Source

text, or omit it. A website is sent with website.

string
default: text
Allowed values: text
title
required
Title

Its title, at most 200 characters. The assistant reads it too.

string
>= 1 characters <= 200 characters
body
required
Body

Its text, at most 100 KB in UTF-8. Plain text or Markdown.

string
>= 1 characters
location_ids
Any of:
Array<string>
Example
{
"title": "Is there parking?",
"body": "Yes: free parking behind the salon, entrance from Via Roma."
}

Successful Response

Media typeapplication/json
Document

A document of the knowledge base the assistant answers callers from: a text note, an uploaded file or an imported website, at one location. Its copies at other locations are documents of their own, sharing copy_group_id. It is used once status is ready; a document whose content is replaced answers with its previous content until then.

object
id
required
Id

Document identifier.

string
location_id
required
Location Id

The location whose assistant uses it (GET /v1/locations). Never null, and it never changes.

string
title
required
Title

The note’s title, the uploaded file’s name, or the imported site’s address.

string
source
required
Source

text for a note written as text, file for an uploaded file, website for pages imported from a site.

string
Allowed values: text file website
mime_type
required
Mime Type

The content type: text/markdown for a note, the file’s type for a file, text/html for a website.

string
size_bytes
required
Size Bytes

What it counts against the account’s knowledge storage: the note’s text, the file as uploaded, or the text extracted from the site. 0 for an upload that failed holding nothing.

integer
chunk_count
required
Chunk Count

How many passages its content is searched as. While it is processing, the count of the content it still answers with; for a new document, 0 until its content has been read. A new copy may show its count from the start.

integer
file_available
required
File Available

True when the uploaded file is kept and GET /v1/documents/{document_id}/file returns it: shortly after the file is first ready, later for a copy at another location. False for a note, a website, a file whose first upload is not ready yet or failed, and a file Talki did not keep. A file being replaced keeps its previous file until the new one has been read, then has none until shortly after the new version is ready.

boolean
status
required
Status

processing while its latest content is being read and indexed, ready once the assistant uses it, failed when its latest content could not be indexed (status_error says why). A document that was ready before keeps answering with its previous content while processing and after failed.

string
Allowed values: processing ready failed
status_error
required
Any of:
string
enabled
required
Enabled

False when it is switched off: kept, but the assistant does not use it until it is switched on again.

boolean
faq
required
Faq

True for the location’s FAQ note, which the answers taught with POST /v1/unresolved_requests/{request_id}/teach are added to. A location has one at most.

boolean
copy_group_id
required
Any of:
string
created_at
required
Created At

RFC 3339 UTC.

string format: date-time
updated_at
required
Updated At

When its title or content was last written, RFC 3339 UTC: a note’s text or title when it is saved, a file’s title when it is renamed, and a replaced file’s or a website’s new content, a dropped page included, when it is ready. Sending the same text, file or pages again counts as a write; switching it on or off does not.

Except idempotency_key_reuse, the other refusals are replayed for 24 hours to a request with the same idempotency key: once the cause is gone, retry with a new key.
