Body

multipart/form-data
​
file
file

The file to chunk.

​
embedding_model
string
default:minishlab/potion-base-8M

Model identifier or embedding model instance to use for semantic analysis.

​
threshold
default:auto

Similarity threshold for grouping sentences. Can be a float [0,1] for direct threshold, int (1,100] for percentile, or 'auto' for automatic calculation.

Allowed value: "auto"
​
mode
string
default:window

Mode for grouping sentences, either 'cumulative' or 'window'.

​
chunk_size
integer
default:512

Maximum tokens per chunk.

​
similarity_window
integer
default:1

Number of preceding sentences to consider for similarity comparison.

​
min_sentences
integer
default:1

Minimum number of sentences per chunk.

​
min_characters_per_sentence
integer
default:12

Minimum number of characters per sentence.

​
threshold_step
number
default:0.01

Step size used when automatically calculating the similarity threshold.

​
delim
default:[".","!","?","\n"]

Delimiters to split sentences on.

​
include_delim
enum<string> | null
default:prev

Include delimiters in the chunk text. If so, specify whether to include the previous or next delimiter.

Available options:
prev,
next
​
return_type
enum<string>
default:chunks

Return type for the chunking process. If 'chunks', returns a list of SemanticChunk objects. If 'texts', returns a list of strings.

Available options:
texts,
chunks

Response

The actual text content of the chunk.

​
start_index
integer

The starting character index of the chunk within the original input text.

​
end_index
integer

The ending character index (exclusive) of the chunk within the original input text.

​
token_count
integer

The number of tokens in this specific chunk, according to the tokenizer used.

​
sentences
object[]

List of SemanticSentence objects contained within this chunk.

Represents a single sentence within a semantic chunk, including an optional embedding vector.
