Tone docs
API referenceKnowledge bases

Import a public web page into a knowledge base

Fetches and indexes a URL rather than a file. Must be reachable from the open internet; private and link-local addresses are refused, and refused again after DNS resolution.

Requires the write scope. A key with less gets 403 insufficient_scope.

POST
/v1/knowledge-bases/{id}/documents/url
AuthorizationBearer <token>

Authorization: Bearer tone_live_… or tone_test_…. The prefix IS the environment: a test key reaches only the sandbox, and no request field bridges the two.
