SyncDocs Admin API (1.0.0)

SyncDocs Admin API

Complete enterprise content management system (ECM) core APIs for accessing ECM functionality programmatically.

Architecture Overview

When you start with Sync, you are assigned an Account with a unique ID. Each account can have:

  • Dataspaces: Fully isolated data segments within an account, similar to separate databases. Each dataspace is used to isolate different business use cases within a single enterprise. - Workspaces: Virtual computing resources for storing, retrieving and manipulating content (managed separately via Workspace APIs) - Libraries: External content sources that can be scraped and indexed for use as citation sources in AI queries - Users and Agents: Can interact with Dataspaces/Workspaces with assigned roles - Ontologies: Define how content is organized within dataspaces

Dataspace Resources

Each Dataspace contains: - A unique Ontology that defines the business-purpose categorization and metadata structure - Categories: Represent the grouping or classification of content (taxonomy) - Metadata Queries: Specific metadata fields that can be associated with content and bound to categories - A collection of Content and Projects (managed via Workspace APIs)

Metadata Query Binding

Metadata Queries can be bound to Categories to indicate required attributes for content in that category. When binding, you can specify: - Whether the attribute is required/mandatory for every Content item in that category - Whether the attribute should be part of the Unique Index (content with same unique index values are considered versions of the same content)

Authentication

All endpoints require authentication using a bearer token and a valid account ID.

Accounts

Account management operations. Each account represents a unique enterprise customer with isolated resources.

Operations

Dataspaces

Dataspace management operations. Dataspaces are fully isolated data segments within an account, similar to separate databases for different business use cases.

Operations

Workspaces

Workspace management operations. Workspaces are virtual computing resources that provide stateless computational services for content processing.

Operations

Ontologies

Ontology management operations. Ontologies define the categorization, indexing and metadata tagging structure for content within dataspaces.
