### Search Operations
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Search Observations**
|
||||
- **Endpoint:** `GET /search/observations`
|
||||
- **Description:** Search observations using full-text search
|
||||
- **Parameters:**
|
||||
- `query` (required, string): Search terms
|
||||
- `format` (optional, string): "index" or "full" (default: "full")
|
||||
- `limit` (optional, number): Max results (default: 20, max: 100)
|
||||
- **Example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/observations?query=authentication&format=index&limit=5"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[... continue for all endpoints ...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoint Categories
|
||||
|
||||
The API help response organizes endpoints by category:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Full-Text Search**
|
||||
- `/search/observations`
|
||||
- `/search/sessions`
|
||||
- `/search/prompts`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Filtered Search**
|
||||
- `/search/by-type`
|
||||
- `/search/by-concept`
|
||||
- `/search/by-file`
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Context Retrieval**
|
||||
- `/context/recent`
|
||||
- `/timeline/context`
|
||||
- `/timeline/by-query`
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Utilities**
|
||||
- `/help`
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Many endpoints share these parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- **format**: "index" (summary) or "full" (complete details)
|
||||
- **limit**: Number of results to return
|
||||
- **offset**: Number of results to skip (for pagination)
|
||||
- **project**: Filter by project name
|
||||
- **dateRange**: Filter by date range
|
||||
- `dateRange[start]`: Start date (ISO string or epoch)
|
||||
- `dateRange[end]`: End date (ISO string or epoch)
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Worker not running:**
|
||||
Connection refused error. Response: "The search API isn't available. Check if worker is running: `pm2 list`"
|
||||
|
||||
**Invalid endpoint:**
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{"error": "Not found"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Response: "Invalid API endpoint. Use /api/help to see available endpoints."
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
1. Save help response for reference during investigation
|
||||
2. Use examples as starting point for your queries
|
||||
3. Check required parameters before making requests
|
||||
4. Refer to format options for each endpoint
|
||||
5. All endpoints use GET method with query parameters
|
||||
|
||||
**Token Efficiency:**
|
||||
- Help response: ~2,000-3,000 tokens (complete API reference)
|
||||
- Use sparingly - refer to operation-specific docs instead
|
||||
- Keep help response cached for repeated reference
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use Help
|
||||
|
||||
**Use help when:**
|
||||
- Starting to use the search API
|
||||
- Need complete parameter reference
|
||||
- Forgot which endpoints are available
|
||||
- Want to see all options at once
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't use help when:**
|
||||
- You know which operation you need (use operation-specific docs)
|
||||
- Just need examples (use common-workflows.md)
|
||||
- Token budget is limited (help is comprehensive)
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative to Help Endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of calling `/api/help`, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use SKILL.md** - Quick decision guide with operation links
|
||||
2. **Use operation docs** - Detailed guides for specific endpoints
|
||||
3. **Use common-workflows.md** - Step-by-step examples
|
||||
4. **Use formatting.md** - Response presentation templates
|
||||
|
||||
The help endpoint is most useful when you need complete API reference in one response.
|
||||
|
||||
## API Versioning
|
||||
|
||||
The help response includes version information:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"version": "5.4.0",
|
||||
"skill_migration": true,
|
||||
"deprecated": {
|
||||
"mcp_tools": "Replaced by HTTP API in v5.4.0"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Check version to ensure compatibility with documentation.
