Rerank API

LinkSearch is designed to work with services that expose a compatible rerank endpoint.

Request example:

curl --location 'https://rerank-api.provider.com/v1/rerank' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer your_api_key' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "bge-reranker-v2-m3",
    "query": "What is Corona disease?",
    "documents": [
      "Corona is a Mexican brand of beer produced by Grupo Modelo in Mexico and exported to markets around the world.",
      "it is a bear",
      "COVID-19 is a contagious illness caused by the a virus SARS-CoV-2."
    ]
  }'
