Coveo Cloud V2 API Overview

The Coveo Platform is a native cloud SaaS/PaaS solution that provides a unified and secure way to query content across many enterprise systems. The platform relies on usage analytics data to yield Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML)-powered recommendations. The Coveo Platform embraces the concepts of micro-services and scalability, allowing users to expand their search solution as their business grows.

As such, the Coveo Platform exposes REST APIs which you can use to achieve anything you could do from the Coveo Cloud Administration Console or from a Coveo JavaScript Search Framework search interface.

The Search, Usage Analytics Write, and Usage Analytics Read APIs work with both Coveo Cloud V1 and V2 organizations. However, aside from those three services, the Coveo Cloud V1 platform doesn’t publicly expose any API endpoints.

The following diagram provides a visual overview of the main interactions between the REST API services and a Coveo Cloud organization.

You may want to use the Official Coveo Cloud APIs JavaScript Client to query Coveo Cloud APIs.
