RetrievalFilter

Union Type

RetrievalFilter module-attribute

Specifies the filters to use on the metadata attributes in the knowledge base data sources before returning results. For more information, see Query configurations. See the examples below to see how to use these filters.

This data type is used in the following API operations:

Union Member Types

RetrievalFilterEquals dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value matches the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources with an animal attribute whose value is cat:

"equals": { "key": "animal", "value": "cat" }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterNotEquals dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned when:

  • It contains a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value doesn't match the value in this object.

  • The key is not present in the document.

The following example would return data sources that don't contain an animal attribute whose value is cat.

"notEquals": { "key": "animal", "value": "cat" }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterGreaterThan dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is greater than the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources with an year attribute whose value is greater than 1989:

"greaterThan": { "key": "year", "value": 1989 }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterGreaterThanOrEquals dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is greater than or equal to the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources with an year attribute whose value is greater than or equal to 1989:

"greaterThanOrEquals": { "key": "year", "value": 1989 }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterLessThan dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is less than the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources with an year attribute whose value is less than to 1989.

"lessThan": { "key": "year", "value": 1989 }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterLessThanOrEquals dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is less than or equal to the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources with an year attribute whose value is less than or equal to 1989.

"lessThanOrEquals": { "key": "year", "value": 1989 }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterIn dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is in the list specified in the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources with an animal attribute that is either cat or dog:

"in": { "key": "animal", "value": ["cat", "dog"] }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterNotIn dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value isn't in the list specified in the value in this object.

The following example would return data sources whose animal attribute is neither cat nor dog.

"notIn": { "key": "animal", "value": ["cat", "dog"] }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterStartsWith dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value starts with the value in this object. This filter is currently only supported for Amazon OpenSearch Serverless vector stores.

The following example would return data sources with an animal attribute starts with ca (for example, cat or camel).

"startsWith": { "key": "animal", "value": "ca" }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterListContains dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is a list that contains the value as one of its members.

The following example would return data sources with an animals attribute that is a list containing a cat member (for example ["dog", "cat"]).

"listContains": { "key": "animals", "value": "cat" }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterStringContains dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if they contain a metadata attribute whose name matches the key and whose value is one of the following:

  • A string that contains the value as a substring. The following example would return data sources with an animal attribute that contains the substring at (for example cat).

"stringContains": { "key": "animal", "value": "at" }

  • A list with a member that contains the value as a substring. The following example would return data sources with an animals attribute that is a list containing a member that contains the substring at (for example ["dog", "cat"]).

"stringContains": { "key": "animals", "value": "at" }

Attributes

value instance-attribute

RetrievalFilterAndAll dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if their metadata attributes fulfill all the filter conditions inside this list.

Attributes

value instance-attribute
value: list[RetrievalFilter]

RetrievalFilterOrAll dataclass

Knowledge base data sources are returned if their metadata attributes fulfill at least one of the filter conditions inside this list.

Attributes

value instance-attribute
value: list[RetrievalFilter]

RetrievalFilterUnknown dataclass

Represents an unknown variant.

If you receive this value, you will need to update your library to receive the parsed value.

This value may not be deliberately sent.

Attributes

tag instance-attribute
tag: str
