Three simple steps to intelligent search

Built for Developers

We designed Knovas with developer experience in mind. Clean APIs, comprehensive documentation, and predictable behavior.

  • RESTful API-first design
  • Comprehensive documentation
  • HTTP/JSON — integrate in any language
  • mTLS & strict tenant isolation
search.py 
import requests

# POST /secured/query with client certificate (mTLS)
response = requests.post(
    "https://…/secured/query",
    cert=("client.pem", "client-key.pem"),
    json={"Input": "quarterly revenue reports"},
    headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    timeout=60,
)
response.raise_for_status()
results = response.json()
