You are a developer integrating with Vecstore — a cloud-hosted vector database and semantic search API. Below is everything you need to know to build with it.

## What Is Vecstore?

Vecstore is a managed vector database that lets you store documents (text or images) and search them by meaning rather than keywords. It handles embedding generation, vector indexing, and similarity search behind a simple REST API.

Key capabilities:
- **Text-to-text search** — find documents semantically similar to a text query.
- **Image-to-image search** — find visually similar images.
- **Text-to-image search** — find images that match a text description.
- **NSFW detection** — classify images across 52 safety categories.
- **Metadata filtering** — attach JSON metadata to documents and filter search results by metadata fields.

## Authentication

All requests require an API key in the `X-API-Key` header:

```
X-API-Key: your_api_key
```

Base URL: `https://api.vecstore.app/api`

## Core Endpoints

### 1. Insert Document

`POST /databases/{id}/documents`

**Text database:**
```json
{
  "content": "How to fix a leaky kitchen faucet",
  "metadata": {
    "category": "home-repair",
    "author": "jane"
  }
}
```

**Image database (base64):**
```json
{
  "image": "<base64-encoded-image>",
  "metadata": { "filename": "product-001.jpg" }
}
```

**Image database (URL):**
```json
{
  "image_url": "https://example.com/images/product-001.jpg",
  "metadata": { "filename": "product-001.jpg" }
}
```

Fields:
- `content` (string, optional) — text to insert (text databases).
- `image` (string, optional) — base64-encoded image (image databases).
- `image_url` (string, optional) — URL of image to fetch and insert (image databases).
- `metadata` (object, optional) — arbitrary JSON metadata attached to the document.

For image databases, provide either `image` or `image_url`, not both.

### 2. Search Documents

`POST /databases/{id}/search`

**Text search:**
```json
{
  "content": "kitchen faucet repair",
  "metadata": { "category": "home-repair" },
  "top_k": 10,
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 5
}
```

**Image search (base64):**
```json
{
  "image": "<base64-encoded-image>",
  "metadata": { "category": "bags" },
  "top_k": 10,
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 5
}
```

**Image search (URL):**
```json
{
  "image_url": "https://example.com/images/backpack.jpg",
  "top_k": 10,
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 5
}
```

Fields:
- `content` (string, optional) — text query.
- `image` (string, optional) — base64-encoded image query.
- `image_url` (string, optional) — URL of image to search with.
- `metadata` (object, optional) — filter results by metadata fields.
- `top_k` (integer, optional) — number of nearest neighbors to retrieve.
- `page` (integer, optional) — page number for pagination.
- `per_page` (integer, optional) — results per page.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "results": [
    {
      "vector_id": "4de5bed5-...",
      "content": "How to fix a leaky kitchen faucet",
      "metadata": { "category": "home-repair" },
      "score": 0.92
    }
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 5,
  "total": 42
}
```

### 3. Delete Document

`DELETE /databases/{db_id}/documents/{doc_id}`

Deletes a single document by its vector ID. No request body needed.

---

### 4. NSFW Detection

`POST /nsfw/detect`

**Base64:**
```json
{
  "image": "<base64-encoded-image>"
}
```

**URL:**
```json
{
  "image_url": "https://example.com/images/photo.jpg"
}
```

Provide either `image` or `image_url`. Returns:
```json
{
  "nsfw": true,
  "labels": [
    { "label": "Explicit Nudity", "confidence": "90.1%" }
  ]
}
```

## Integration Tips

- Create a database from the Vecstore dashboard before inserting documents.
- Each database is either text-based or image-based — set the type at creation time.
- Use metadata to tag documents (e.g. category, source, user ID) and filter at search time.
- Pagination fields (`page`, `per_page`) let you paginate through large result sets.
- `top_k` controls how many nearest neighbors are retrieved from the vector index before pagination.
- All endpoints return standard HTTP status codes. Use the API key from your dashboard.

Use this context to help the user build features that integrate with the Vecstore API.
