Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Bearer token authentication using your API key. Format: 'Bearer your_api_key'. To get an API key, create an account at mixpeek.com/start and generate a key in your account settings.

Headers

​
Authorization
string
required

REQUIRED: Bearer token authentication using your API key. Format: 'Bearer sk_xxxxxxxxxxxxx'. You can create API keys in the Mixpeek dashboard under Organization Settings.

Examples:

"Bearer sk_live_abc123def456"

"Bearer sk_test_xyz789"

​
X-Namespace
string
required

REQUIRED: Namespace identifier for scoping this request. All resources (collections, buckets, taxonomies, etc.) are scoped to a namespace. You can provide either the namespace name or namespace ID. Format: ns_xxxxxxxxxxxxx (ID) or a custom name like 'my-namespace'

Examples:

"ns_abc123def456"

"production"

"my-namespace"

Path Parameters

​
bucket_identifier
string
required

The unique identifier of the bucket.

Body

application/json

Request model for creating a bucket object.

Objects can be created with blobs from two sources:

  1. Direct data (URLs, base64) - Use CreateBlobRequest.data field
  2. Upload references - Use CreateBlobRequest.upload_id field (from POST /buckets/{id}/uploads)

Upload Reference Workflow: For large files or client-side uploads, use the presigned URL workflow: 1. POST /buckets/{id}/uploads → Returns {upload_id, presigned_url} 2. User uploads file to presigned_url (client-side) 3. POST /uploads/{upload_id}/confirm → Validates upload 4. POST /buckets/{id}/objects with upload_id in blobs (this endpoint)

Use Cases: - Single blob with direct data (simple) - Multiple blobs from presigned uploads (recommended for large files) - Mix of direct data and upload references - Combine multiple uploads into one object

See Also: - CreateBlobRequest for blob field documentation - POST /buckets/{id}/uploads for presigned URL generation

​
key_prefix
string | null

Storage key/path prefix of the object, this will be used to retrieve the object from the storage. It's at the root of the object.

Example:

"/contract-2024"

​
blobs
CreateBlobRequest · object[]

List of blobs to be created in this object

Example:
[
  {
    "data": {
      "num_pages": 5,
      "title": "Service Agreement 2024"
    },
    "key_prefix": "/content.pdf",
    "metadata": {
      "author": "John Doe",
      "department": "Legal"
    },
    "property": "content",
    "type": "PDF"
  }
]
​
skip_duplicates
boolean
default:false

Skip duplicate blobs, if a blob with the same hash already exists, it will be skipped.

​
canonicalize_source
boolean
default:true

Mirror non-S3 sources into internal S3 and reference canonically.

​
force_remirror
boolean
default:false

Force re-upload to S3 even if a blob with identical content already exists.

Response

Successful Response

Response model for bucket objects.

​
bucket_id
string
required

ID of the bucket this object belongs to

​
object_id
string

Unique identifier for the object

​
key_prefix

​
content_hash
string | null

SHA256 hash of the object's content, used for de-duplication.

​
blobs
BlobModel · object[]

List of blobs contained in this object

​
