Knowledge store search results can include item custom metadata

Knowledge store search results now include the custom metadata of the knowledge store item.

A knowledge store item has two sets of custom metadata: the custom metadata of the source asset and the custom metadata of the knowledge store item. The two sets are separate. The same key can have different values in each set.

When you set the include_metadata parameter to true, the metadata object of each result has these fields:

  • system: System-generated metadata.
  • user: The custom metadata of the source asset.
  • item: The custom metadata of the knowledge store item. This field is absent when no item metadata has been set.

To use this feature, upgrade to the latest version of the Python or Node.js SDK:

Python SDK

pip install --upgrade twelvelabs

Node.js SDK

npm install twelvelabs-js@latest

For details, see the Search a knowledge store page in the API Reference section, or the SDK reference for Python and Node.js.
