Accessing Data in a Knowledge Base

Accessing Data in a Knowledge Base#

You can Search or Query the Knowledge Base for information contained in your Data Sources. Search will return a natural language response while Query will return the individual entries. Use whichever one best fits your use case.

From the Cloud Console#

You can explore your data with a natural language question on the Query tab of your Knowledge Base. You can use + Add Schema Argument to add schema arguments to query structured data in a Hybrid Knowledge Base. Selecting a count schema argument allows you to specify the number of results that you wish to return in the response to your query.

From the API#

You can enact both Search and Query via the API by hitting their respective endpoints using a Gen AI Builder API Key and the Knowledge Base ID found on the Config tab of your Knowledge Base.

The following example commands will send the string "test question" and return the results from the Knowledge Base.

Query#

export GT_CLOUD_API_KEY=<your API key here>
export KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID=<your knowledge base id here>
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${GT_CLOUD_API_KEY}" --json {"query": "test question"} "https://cloud.griptape.ai/api/knowledge-bases/${KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID}/query"

Using the Gen AI Builder SDK#

You can use the GriptapeCloudVectorStoreDriver to query your Knowledge Base with Gen AI Builder.
