The simplest retrieval endpoint. Use it when you want raw hits and will craft your own prompt downstream. For grounded answers with citations + exclusions, use /v1/context or /v1/ask.

Required action

search — see Authentication → Actions.

​
Cost

Each successful call consumes 1 credit. On Builder tier this is hard-blocked at the monthly cap. On Studio/Scale tiers calls past the cap are billed at $0.015 per answer overage. See Billing.

​
Body

​
query
string
required
The user-facing question or search phrase. Sent as-is to the embedding model.
​
limit
integer
default:"8"
Maximum number of hits to return. Min 1, max 25.

​
Response

  "query": "What did we decide about the brand color?",

      },
      "syncedAt": "2026-05-30T20:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
​
query
string
Echo of the input query for convenience.
​
hits
array
Ranked array of source items matching the query, ordered by score descending.

Example

curl -X POST https://api.userepo.com/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer repo_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Q3 OKRs", "limit": 5}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.userepo.com/v1/search", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.REPO_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ query: "Q3 OKRs", limit: 5 })
});
const { hits } = await res.json();

import requests, os

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.userepo.com/v1/search",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['REPO_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"query": "Q3 OKRs", "limit": 5}
)
print(r.json()["hits"])

​
Provider scoping

If the calling key has allowedProviders set, hits from excluded providers are filtered out server-side before the response is built. See Scopes for details. The exclusions array that explains why something was filtered is only returned by /v1/context — /v1/search is silent about scope filtering.
