- Your Organization ID (e.g., mycompanyxyz123).
- An API key to authorize requests.
Follow these steps to configure Coveo in order to access your PR API endpoint and perform a test call.
1) Index your data
This step assumes that you're starting from an empty Coveo organization. Skip it if you already have content indexed in Coveo .
2) Configure the PR API
In the Coveo Platform Admin :
- Create a Passage Retrieval (CPR) model and associate it to a query pipeline.
- Ensure that the same pipeline is also associated with a Semantic Encoder (SE) model.
For complete step-by-step setup details, see: https://docs.coveo.com/en/o86c8334/build-a-search-ui/use-the-passage-retrieval-api
3) Create an API key
Create an API key and use it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header in the test call (step 4).
4) Make a test call (cURL)
In the following curl request, replace ORG_ID and API_KEY with your values.
curl -X POST <https://ORG_ID.org.coveo.com/rest/search/v3/passages/retrieve> -H "Authorization: Bearer API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "query": "", "additionalFields": ["clickableuri"], "maxPassages": 5, "localization": { "locale": "en-CA", "timezone": "America/Montreal" } }'
Expected response contains an items array with ranked passages and a responseId.
