"just" is a command runner — like shortcuts for common tasks. See Justfile Commands for more.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/embed \
  -H "X-API-Key: super-secret-key" \
  -F "file=@test-documents/malaysia-wikipedia.txt" \
  -F "document_id=my-first-doc"

Save the job_id from the response.

Step 3: Wait for Processing​

Check until status is "completed":

  -H "X-API-Key: super-secret-key"

Takes about 10-30 seconds.

Step 4: Search Your Document​

Ask a question:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/search \
  -H "X-API-Key: super-secret-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "What is the capital?", "limit": 5}'
