Manage data catalogs programmatically using the Vantage API — list catalogs, inspect their structure, add records, reindex after changes, and delete records.

​
List and inspect data catalogs

  • List all available data catalogs: 
    GET https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs
  • Get detailed information about a specific data catalog: 
    GET https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs/{catalogId}
  • Get the mapping between a skill’s fields and a data catalog’s columns: 
    GET https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/{skillId}/catalogsMapping

​
Update a data catalog

Use the following endpoints to update a data catalog with JSON records.
1

Add records

Send a POST request to the records resource:
POST https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs/{catalogId}/records
2

Reindex

Once updates are complete, reindex the catalog so new data becomes searchable:
POST https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs/{catalogId}/reindex
Without this reindex request, searches return data from the outdated version of the data catalog.
3

Check reindex status

Use the operation ID returned from the reindex request to check status:
POST https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs/{catalogId}/reindex/reindexOperationId/download
After indexing completes, the catalog is ready for use by Document skills.

​
Delete all records

Remove every record from a data catalog: 
POST https://your-instance.vantage.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs/{catalogId}/records/delete/download
