Path ParametersExpand Collapse

account_id: string

name: string

Body ParametersJSONExpand Collapse

description: optional string

Optional description for the namespace. Max 256 characters.

maxLength256

public_endpoint_params: optional object { authorized_hosts, chat_completions_endpoint, custom_domains, 6 more }

authorized_hosts: optional array of string

chat_completions_endpoint: optional object { disabled }

disabled: optional boolean

Disable chat completions endpoint for this public endpoint

custom_domains: optional array of string

Custom domain hostnames that alias this public endpoint. GET and create responses return the current set; on update (PUT) this field is only echoed back when supplied in the request body, otherwise it is null (omit it to leave domains unchanged).

default_domain_enabled: optional boolean

When false, the instance is reachable only via a registered custom domain and the default <public_endpoint_id>.search.ai.cloudflare.com host returns 404. Requires at least one custom domain. Defaults to true. public_endpoint_params is replaced wholesale on update, so resend default_domain_enabled on every update to keep the default host off — omitting it resets to true.

enabled: optional boolean

instances_allowed: optional array of string

Instance IDs exposed through the namespace public endpoint. Empty means nothing is searchable. Every ID must be an existing instance in this namespace, and the list cannot exceed the account’s multi-instance search limit.
