Coveo Cloud V2 API Overview

The Coveo Cloud platform is an enterprise-class native cloud SaaS/PaaS solution that provides a unified and secure way to search for contextually relevant content across multiple enterprise systems. The platform relies on usage analytics data to yield Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML) powered recommendations. The Coveo Cloud V2 platform embraces the concepts of micro-services and scalability, allowing users to expand their search solution as their business grows.

As such, the Coveo Cloud V2 platform exposes REST APIs which you can use to achieve anything you could do from the Coveo Cloud V2 Administration Console or from a JavaScript Search Framework page.

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 does not 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.
