StackOne Documents API Interface

Overview

AI agents are more effective when they can access each user’s specific documents and knowledge bases. Keeping these documents updated is challenging, but the StackOne Documents API makes it easy to access and sync user files for your agent.
API Reference: See available operations in the documents/api-reference/.Every API endpoint can be provided as a tool within an agent through StackOne’s AI Library (nodejs, python)
This use case demonstrates how to:
  • Enable users to select relevant documents from their connected storage (SharePoint, Google Drive, Notion, etc.)
  • Index and process selected documents for AI agent context
  • Implement real-time document synchronization with webhooks
  • Build low-latency search and retrieval for agent responses
  • Combine RAG’d document data with real-time tool calling

Step-by-Step Guide

Prerequisites

Before implementing this use case, ensure you have:
  • Enabled document integrations in your StackOne project for the providers you want to support (SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence, etc.)
  • Reviewed the integration setup guides for provider-specific configuration requirements
Some document providers require additional OAuth application setup beyond the standard StackOne integration configuration. This may include creating custom OAuth apps with specific providers to enable full functionality and avoid rate limits. See the integration guides overview for detailed provider-specific requirements.

  1. Set Up Webhook Endpoints Configure webhooks in your StackOne dashboard to receive account.created and documents_files.updated events. API Reference: Webhooks Guide
  1. Generate Connect Session Token Use the Create Connect Session API with multiple: true for per-user account linking. Additional API: List Accounts to retrieve connected document provider accounts
  2. Embed Integration Hub Install and configure StackOne React Hub for OAuth flows. API Reference: Embedding StackOne Hub
  3. Implement File Picker Deploy StackOne File Picker for folder/file selection. API Reference: File Picker Guide
  1. Index Selected Content Use Download File and Get File to retrieve file content and metadata. Store content in your data store (vector database, search index, etc.). Additional APIs: List Files, List Folders, List Drives
  2. Maintain Content Freshness Implement one or more strategies to keep your agent’s knowledge base current. These approaches are not mutually exclusive and can be combined:
    StrategyWhen to UseImplementation
    Scheduled SyncBatch processing, tolerance for delaysCron jobs that re-index files periodically using stored file/folder IDs
    Webhook-DrivenReal-time requirements, immediate updatesReact to documents_files.updated events for instant synchronization
    Manual SyncUser-controlled updates, debuggingAdmin dashboard triggers for specific accounts/files
    API Endpoints: Use Get File and Download File when documents_files.updated webhooks are received Optional: Upload File for agent-generated content
