resources

Get a resource

One resource and its import status. Pass wait=true to wait up to 15 seconds while status is queued or processing. A deleted resource or one from another workspace answers the same 404 resource_not_found as one that never existed.

Requires resources:read.

Poll this endpoint after an import. ready and failed are final: stop polling when you see either. For failed, read status_detail, fix the cause and re-index.

A resource of another workspace answers the same resource_not_found as one that does not exist.

Query parameters

waitboolean | enum<string>

Wait up to 15 seconds for reading and indexing to finish before returning. Short texts, files and pages usually come back ready (or failed) in one call; larger imports return their current status (queued or processing) when the window ends, never an error.
