Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Every request authenticates with an API key: Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}. App endpoints take an app API key; knowledge endpoints take a knowledge base API key (Get Started).

Keep keys server-side; never embed them in client code. Requests with a missing or invalid key fail with HTTP 401 (unauthorized).

Path Parameters

dataset_id

string<uuid>

required

Knowledge base ID, from List Knowledge Bases. For a scoped key, copy the ID from the Dify URL.

node_id

string

required

ID of the datasource node to run, from List Datasource Plugins.

Body

application/json

datasource_type

enum<string>

required

Type of the datasource.

Available options:

online_document,

local_file,

website_crawl,

online_drive

inputs

object

required

Input variables for the datasource node.

is_published

boolean

required

Whether to run the published version of the node instead of the draft.

credential_id

string | null

ID of the credential to authenticate with the datasource, from the credentials array of List Datasource Plugins.

Response

Streaming response with node execution events.

Server-Sent Events stream of node execution progress and results. See SSE Streaming for parsing.
