Get a knowledge base document

GET
/v1/kb/collections/{id}/documents/{documentID}
<?php
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.ai.wpengine.com/v1/kb/collections/example/documents/example', [
'headers' => [
'Authorization' => 'Bearer <token>',
],
]);
echo $response->getBody();

Returns a single document by ID from the collection. Requires a valid WP Engine bearer token.

id
required
string

The collection ID.

documentID
required
string

The document ID.

Agent-Session-Id
string

Optional. The agent session this fetch is being performed for, when the call answers a tool request from that session. Used only to group the call with the rest of the session’s activity in observability data. It is ignored unless it names a session in the same project as the caller, and it never changes the response.

The requested document

Media typeapplication/json

The stored document — the indexed fields plus its id and content_hash.

object
id
required

Stable document id. Supply it to make index idempotent (re-indexing the same id replaces the document); generated when omitted.

string
content
required

The document text indexed for search.

string
title
string
type

Document type (e.g. the WordPress post type).

string
uri

Canonical URL for the document.

string
language

ISO 639-1 language code.

string
created_at
string format: date-time
modified_at
string format: date-time
metadata

Free-form metadata; values are stored as keywords for exact-match filtering.

object
key
additional properties
any
id
required

The document id.

string
content_hash
required

SHA-256 of the content, set by the gateway.

string
Example
{
"metadata": {
"status": "publish",
"category": "news",
"tags": [
"guide",
"billing"
]
}
}

Missing or invalid bearer token

error

string
type

string
code

integer
request_id
required

Correlation ID for this request, matching the X-Request-ID response header — a 32-character trace ID behind the load balancer, otherwise a UUID. Quote it in support reports.

string
Example
{
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"request_id": "80f1e2c3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2d3e4f5"
}
}
WWW-Authenticate
string
Example
Bearer realm="ai-services"

The token is valid, but the caller is not permitted to perform this action — either its scope/permission is insufficient or the authenticated user is not authorized for the target account (error type “permission_error”). On /v1/chat/completions specifically, a 403 with error type “content_policy_violation” instead means the request content was blocked by content moderation policy; that response never identifies which filter or category matched.

Rate limit exceeded. The request was throttled at the edge; wait and retry later. The response body is a short HTML page generated by the load balancer, not a structured JSON error — clients should rely on the 429 status code rather than parsing the body.

The knowledge base is not currently available. Retry after a short delay.
