Create an embedder configuration — REST API

POST /v1/embedders: Creates a new embedder configuration for vectorizing content.

Creates a new embedder configuration for vectorizing content. Embedders represent connections to different embedding API services (like OpenAI, vLLM, etc.) and include all the necessary configuration to use them with memory spaces.

DUPLICATE DETECTION: Returns HTTP 409 Conflict (ALREADY_EXISTS) if another embedder exists with identical {ownerId, providerType, endpointUrl, apiPath, modelIdentifier, dimensionality, distributionType, credentialsFingerprint} after URL canonicalization. Uniqueness is enforced per-owner, allowing different users to have identical configurations. A SHA-256 credential fingerprint participates in uniqueness checking. The apiPath field defaults to '/v2/embed' for Cohere, '/v1/embeddings' for Jina, '/embed' for TEI, and '/embeddings' for other providers when omitted.

OWNER DEFAULTS: Owner defaults to the authenticated principal unless ownerId is provided; CREATE_EMBEDDER is evaluated against the proposed embedder and owner.
