Manage warehouses (corpora)

The Vision Warehouse API allows you to manage Vision Warehouse resources using the command line.

A connected warehouse (corpus) in a data-ingesting deployed app is a resource in your Google Cloud project. Use the following commands to manage these resources.

Create a corpus resource

Streaming video corpus

The search_capability_setting field is not supported. The default_ttl field is required and it needs to be less than 10 years.

REST

To create a corpora resource, send a POST request by using the projects.locations.corpora.create method.

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • REGIONALIZED_ENDPOINT: Endpoint might include a prefix matching the LOCATION_ID such as europe-west4-. See more about regionalized endpoints.
  • PROJECT_NUMBER: Your Google Cloud project number.
  • LOCATION_ID: The region where you are using Vertex AI Vision. For example: us-central1, europe-west4. See available regions.
  • DISPLAY_NAME: Display name for the warehouse.
  • WAREHOUSE_DESCRIPTION: The description of the warehouse (corpus).
  • TIME_TO_LIVE: The amount of time to live (TTL) for all assets under a corpus, or the TTL of a specific asset. For example, for a corpus with assets with a TTL of 100 days, provide the value 8640000 (seconds).

HTTP method and URL:
