Functions
Grants users or groups in your IAM Identity Center identity source access to your Amazon Kendra experience.
You can create an Amazon Kendra experience such as a search application. For more information on creating a search application experience, see Building a search experience with no code: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/deploying-search-experience-no-code.html.Defines the specific permissions of users or groups in your IAM Identity Center identity source with access to your Amazon Kendra experience.
You can create an Amazon Kendra experience such as a search application. For more information on creating a search application experience, see Building a search experience with no code: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/deploying-search-experience-no-code.html.Removes one or more documents from an index.
The documents must have been added with the BatchPutDocument
API.
The documents are deleted asynchronously. You can see the progress of the deletion by using Amazon Web Services CloudWatch. Any error messages related to the processing of the batch are sent to your Amazon Web Services CloudWatch log. You can also use the BatchGetDocumentStatus
API to monitor the progress of deleting your documents.
BatchDeleteDocument
could take up to an hour or more, depending on the number of documents you want to delete.
Removes one or more sets of featured results.
Features results are placed above all other results for certain queries. If there's an exact match of a query, then one or more specific documents are featured in the search results.Returns the indexing status for one or more documents submitted with the BatchPutDocument: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/API_BatchPutDocument.html API.
When you use the BatchPutDocument
API, documents are indexed asynchronously. You can use the BatchGetDocumentStatus
API to get the current status of a list of documents so that you can determine if they have been successfully indexed.
BatchGetDocumentStatus
API to check the status of the BatchDeleteDocument: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/API_BatchDeleteDocument.html API. When a document is deleted from the index, Amazon Kendra returns NOT_FOUND
as the status.
Adds one or more documents to an index.
The BatchPutDocument
API enables you to ingest inline documents or a set of documents stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use this API to ingest your text and unstructured text into an index, add custom attributes to the documents, and to attach an access control list to the documents added to the index.
The documents are indexed asynchronously. You can see the progress of the batch using Amazon Web Services CloudWatch. Any error messages related to processing the batch are sent to your Amazon Web Services CloudWatch log. You can also use the BatchGetDocumentStatus
API to monitor the progress of indexing your documents.
Clears existing query suggestions from an index.
This deletes existing suggestions only, not the queries in the query log. After you clear suggestions, Amazon Kendra learns new suggestions based on new queries added to the query log from the time you cleared suggestions. If you do not see any new suggestions, then please allow Amazon Kendra to collect enough queries to learn new suggestions.
ClearQuerySuggestions
is currently not supported in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US-West) region.
Creates an access configuration for your documents.
This includes user and group access information for your documents. This is useful for user context filtering, where search results are filtered based on the user or their group access to documents.
You can use this to re-configure your existing document level access control without indexing all of your documents again. For example, your index contains top-secret company documents that only certain employees or users should access. One of these users leaves the company or switches to a team that should be blocked from accessing top-secret documents. The user still has access to top-secret documents because the user had access when your documents were previously indexed. You can create a specific access control configuration for the user with deny access. You can later update the access control configuration to allow access if the user returns to the company and re-joins the 'top-secret' team. You can re-configure access control for your documents as circumstances change.
To apply your access control configuration to certain documents, you call the BatchPutDocument: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/API_BatchPutDocument.html API with theAccessControlConfigurationId
included in the Document: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/API_Document.html object. If you use an S3 bucket as a data source, you update the .metadata.json
with the AccessControlConfigurationId
and synchronize your data source. Amazon Kendra currently only supports access control configuration for S3 data sources and documents indexed using the BatchPutDocument
API.
Creates a data source connector that you want to use with an Amazon Kendra index.
You specify a name, data source connector type and description for your data source. You also specify configuration information for the data source connector.
CreateDataSource
is a synchronous operation. The operation returns 200 if the data source was successfully created. Otherwise, an exception is raised.
Creates an Amazon Kendra experience such as a search application.
For more information on creating a search application experience, including using the Python and Java SDKs, see Building a search experience with no code: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/deploying-search-experience-no-code.html.Creates a set of frequently ask questions (FAQs) using a specified FAQ file stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.
Adding FAQs to an index is an asynchronous operation.
For an example of adding an FAQ to an index using Python and Java SDKs, see Using your FAQ file: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/in-creating-faq.html#using-faq-file.Creates a set of featured results to display at the top of the search results page.
Featured results are placed above all other results for certain queries. You map specific queries to specific documents for featuring in the results. If a query contains an exact match, then one or more specific documents are featured in the search results.
You can create up to 50 sets of featured results per index. You can request to increase this limit by contacting Support: http://aws.amazon.com/contact-us/.Creates an Amazon Kendra index.
Index creation is an asynchronous API. To determine if index creation has completed, check the Status
field returned from a call to DescribeIndex
. The Status
field is set to ACTIVE
when the index is ready to use.
Once the index is active, you can index your documents using the BatchPutDocument
API or using one of the supported data sources: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/data-sources.html.
Creates a block list to exlcude certain queries from suggestions.
Any query that contains words or phrases specified in the block list is blocked or filtered out from being shown as a suggestion.
You need to provide the file location of your block list text file in your S3 bucket. In your text file, enter each block word or phrase on a separate line.
For information on the current quota limits for block lists, see Quotas for Amazon Kendra: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/quotas.html.
CreateQuerySuggestionsBlockList
is currently not supported in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US-West) region.
Creates a thesaurus for an index.
The thesaurus contains a list of synonyms in Solr format.
For an example of adding a thesaurus file to an index, see Adding custom synonyms to an index: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/index-synonyms-adding-thesaurus-file.html.Deletes an access control configuration that you created for your documents in an index.
This includes user and group access information for your documents. This is useful for user context filtering, where search results are filtered based on the user or their group access to documents.Deletes an Amazon Kendra data source connector.
An exception is not thrown if the data source is already being deleted. While the data source is being deleted, the Status
field returned by a call to the DescribeDataSource
API is set to DELETING
. For more information, see Deleting Data Sources: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/delete-data-source.html.
Deletes your Amazon Kendra experience such as a search application.
For more information on creating a search application experience, see Building a search experience with no code: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/deploying-search-experience-no-code.html.Deletes an existing Amazon Kendra index.
An exception is not thrown if the index is already being deleted. While the index is being deleted, theStatus
field returned by a call to the DescribeIndex
API is set to DELETING
.
Deletes a group so that all users and sub groups that belong to the group can no longer access documents only available to that group.
For example, after deleting the group "Summer Interns", all interns who belonged to that group no longer see intern-only documents in their search results.
If you want to delete or replace users or sub groups of a group, you need to use the PutPrincipalMapping
operation. For example, if a user in the group "Engineering" leaves the engineering team and another user takes their place, you provide an updated list of users or sub groups that belong to the "Engineering" group when calling PutPrincipalMapping
. You can update your internal list of users or sub groups and input this list when calling PutPrincipalMapping
.
DeletePrincipalMapping
is currently not supported in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US-West) region.
Deletes a block list used for query suggestions for an index.
A deleted block list might not take effect right away. Amazon Kendra needs to refresh the entire suggestions list to add back the queries that were previously blocked.

Gets a list of tags associated with a specified resource.
Indexes, FAQs, and data sources can have tags associated with them.Maps users to their groups so that you only need to provide the user ID when you issue the query.
You can also map sub groups to groups. For example, the group "Company Intellectual Property Teams" includes sub groups "Research" and "Engineering". These sub groups include their own list of users or people who work in these teams. Only users who work in research and engineering, and therefore belong in the intellectual property group, can see top-secret company documents in their search results.
This is useful for user context filtering, where search results are filtered based on the user or their group access to documents. For more information, see Filtering on user context: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/user-context-filter.html.
If more than fivePUT
actions for a group are currently processing, a validation exception is thrown.
Searches an index given an input query.
If you are working with large language models (LLMs) or implementing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems, you can use Amazon Kendra's Retrieve: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/APIReference/API_Retrieve.html API, which can return longer semantically relevant passages. We recommend using the Retrieve
API instead of filing a service limit increase to increase the Query
API document excerpt length.
You can configure boosting or relevance tuning at the query level to override boosting at the index level, filter based on document fields/attributes and faceted search, and filter based on the user or their group access to documents. You can also include certain fields in the response that might provide useful additional information.
A query response contains three types of results.
Relevant suggested answers. The answers can be either a text excerpt or table excerpt. The answer can be highlighted in the excerpt.
Matching FAQs or questions-answer from your FAQ file.
Relevant documents. This result type includes an excerpt of the document with the document title. The searched terms can be highlighted in the excerpt.
QueryResultTypeFilter
parameter. Each query returns the 100 most relevant results. If you filter result type to only question-answers, a maximum of four results are returned. If you filter result type to only answers, a maximum of three results are returned.
Retrieves relevant passages or text excerpts given an input query.
This API is similar to the Query: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/APIReference/API_Query.html API. However, by default, the Query
API only returns excerpt passages of up to 100 token words. With the Retrieve
API, you can retrieve longer passages of up to 200 token words and up to 100 semantically relevant passages. This doesn't include question-answer or FAQ type responses from your index. The passages are text excerpts that can be semantically extracted from multiple documents and multiple parts of the same document. If in extreme cases your documents produce zero passages using the Retrieve
API, you can alternatively use the Query
API and its types of responses.
You can also do the following:
Override boosting at the index level
Filter based on document fields or attributes
Filter based on the user or their group access to documents
View the confidence score bucket for a retrieved passage result. The confidence bucket provides a relative ranking that indicates how confident Amazon Kendra is that the response is relevant to the query.
Confidence score buckets are currently available only for English.
You can also include certain fields in the response that might provide useful additional information.
TheRetrieve
API shares the number of query capacity units: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/APIReference/API_CapacityUnitsConfiguration.html that you set for your index. For more information on what's included in a single capacity unit and the default base capacity for an index, see Adjusting capacity: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/adjusting-capacity.html.
Starts a synchronization job for a data source connector.
If a synchronization job is already in progress, Amazon Kendra returns a ResourceInUseException
exception.
Stops a synchronization job that is currently running.
You can't stop a scheduled synchronization job.Enables you to provide feedback to Amazon Kendra to improve the performance of your index.
SubmitFeedback
is currently not supported in the Amazon Web Services GovCloud (US-West) region.
Adds the specified tag to the specified index, FAQ, or data source resource.
If the tag already exists, the existing value is replaced with the new value.Updates an access control configuration for your documents in an index.
This includes user and group access information for your documents. This is useful for user context filtering, where search results are filtered based on the user or their group access to documents.
You can update an access control configuration you created without indexing all of your documents again. For example, your index contains top-secret company documents that only certain employees or users should access. You created an 'allow' access control configuration for one user who recently joined the 'top-secret' team, switching from a team with 'deny' access to top-secret documents. However, the user suddenly returns to their previous team and should no longer have access to top secret documents. You can update the access control configuration to re-configure access control for your documents as circumstances change.
You call the BatchPutDocument: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/API_BatchPutDocument.html API to apply the updated access control configuration, with theAccessControlConfigurationId
included in the Document: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/API_Document.html object. If you use an S3 bucket as a data source, you synchronize your data source to apply the AccessControlConfigurationId
in the .metadata.json
file. Amazon Kendra currently only supports access control configuration for S3 data sources and documents indexed using the BatchPutDocument
API.
Updates your Amazon Kendra experience such as a search application.
For more information on creating a search application experience, see Building a search experience with no code: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/deploying-search-experience-no-code.html.Updates a set of featured results.
Features results are placed above all other results for certain queries. You map specific queries to specific documents for featuring in the results. If a query contains an exact match of a query, then one or more specific documents are featured in the search results.Updates a block list used for query suggestions for an index.
Updates to a block list might not take effect right away. Amazon Kendra needs to refresh the entire suggestions list to apply any updates to the block list. Other changes not related to the block list apply immediately.
If a block list is updating, then you need to wait for the first update to finish before submitting another update.
Amazon Kendra supports partial updates, so you only need to provide the fields you want to update.
