Trigger Backfill

POST
/admin/backfill-embeddings/
 
curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://example.com/admin/backfill-embeddings/?force=false' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Queue semantic-search embedding generation for records (admin only).

Pass ?force=true to delete all existing embeddings and regenerate from scratch (required after changing the embedding model or dimensions).

fix(#1542): the run happens on the job queue, not in this request. A full regenerate is provider-bound and linear in catalog size, so it outgrew the 600s edge timeout somewhere below 59,000 records — and the request dying at the proxy never stopped the work, it only hid it. Returns the job id; poll GET /jobs/{job_id} for the outcome.

Successful Response

Media type application/json
BackfillResponse

Acknowledgement that a backfill run was queued (fix(#1542)).

The run itself happens on the job queue, so this carries no counts — a full regenerate takes minutes and used to hold the HTTP request open past the 600s edge timeout. Poll GET /jobs/{job_id} for the run’s status.

Job Id

Identifier of the queued backfill job; poll /jobs/{job_id}.
