}Returns the top-K matching sections ranked by vector similarity over Gemini embeddings. Current production search is scoped to owned Disks only.
Search responses follow the same redaction policy as Disk reads. Owner-private hits include
For an owner-private Disk, the same hit shape uses
section_text; redacted hits include snippet.
Request
string
required
Natural language query. Trimmed to the first 1000 characters before embedding.
integer
default:"10"
Maximum number of section hits returned. Capped at 25.
Example
curl -X POST https://skilldiscs.com/api/v1/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_your_key_here" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "how does diffusion work in transformers", "limit": 5}'
Response
array
Each hit references a single section inside one of your Disks.
Show Section hit
Show Section hit
string
Short URL-safe ID of the parent Disk.
string
Title of the parent Disk.
integer
Zero-based section position within the Disk.
string
Full matched section text. Present only when
redacted is false.string
Bounded excerpt around the match. Present only when
redacted is true.string[]
AI-extracted key points for the matched section.
boolean
Whether verbatim section text was withheld.
