# Create Knowledge Base

> Creates a new knowledge base.

**Endpoint**\
`POST https://gateway.orkeia.ai/knowledge-bases`

**Authentication**\
Requires header `authorization:  <your_token>`.

### Request body

> The service expects **a wrapper** with `knowledgeBase` and `filename`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "knowledgeBase": {
    "name": "Internal Policies",
    "description": "Official corporate documents",
    "enabled": true,
    "sectors": ["hr", "legal"],
    "content": "https://storage.orkeia.ai/kb/policies.pdf",
    "type": "file",
    "multimodal": false,
    "tags": ["compliance", "contracts"]
  },
  "filename": "policies.pdf"
}
```

> **Notes**
>
> * For `type: "file"`, send the corresponding `filename` to the stored content.
> * For `type: "url"` or `type: "text"`, `filename` can be ignored/left empty, but the field exists in the payload for endpoint consistency.
> * `content`:
>   * `file`: storage path/URL of the file (e.g., S3/Storage).
>   * `url`: public/private link to be referenced.
>   * `text`: direct textual content.
