# Vector Search

POST https://api.machanirobotics.com/v1/kokoro:vectorSearch
Content-Type: application/json

Reference: https://docs.machanirobotics.dev/latest/2026-01-16-dev/kokoro-service/vectorsearch

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a VectorSearchRequest.

- `prompt` (string, required) — The search query provided as a JSON string.
- `collection` (integer, required) — The collection within the vector store to search.
- `resultsCount` (integer, required) — The number of results to return.

## Response

### 200

OK

- `response` (string, optional) — The search results returned as a JSON string.
- `collection` (integer, optional) — The collection within the vector store that was searched.
- `resultsCount` (integer, optional) — The number of results returned.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Bad Request

- `code` (integer, optional) — The status code, which should be an enum value of [google.rpc.Code][google.rpc.Code].
- `message` (string, optional) — A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the [google.rpc.Status.details][google.rpc.Status.details] field, or localized by the client.
- `details` (list of GoogleProtobufAny, optional) — A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

## Types

### GoogleProtobufAny

Contains an arbitrary serialized message along with a @type that describes the type of the serialized message.

- `@type` (string, optional) — The type of the serialized message.
