How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

Environment

  • AnythingLLM Version: Latest Windows Desktop Application (Downloaded in early 2025)
  • OS: Windows
  • Deployment: Desktop Application

Problem Description

There is a critical discrepancy between the official API documentation provided at http://localhost:3001/api/docs and the actual behavior of the running application.

The API documentation correctly lists the endpoint POST /api/v1/workspace/{workspaceId}/document/add-texts for adding new text documents to a workspace. However, any attempt to send a request to this endpoint results in a 404 Not Found error.

This issue makes it impossible to programmatically add documents to the desktop application via the API.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install and run the latest AnythingLLM Desktop application on Windows.
  2. Create a workspace and generate a valid API key.
  3. Confirm basic API connectivity by successfully sending a GET request to /api/v1/workspaces. This works correctly and returns a 200 OK.
  4. Using the same API key, attempt to send a POST request to the documented endpoint /api/v1/workspace/{workspaceId}/document/add-texts.

Expected Behavior

  • The POST request to /api/v1/workspace/{workspaceId}/document/add-texts should return a 200 OK status, indicating the document has been successfully created.

Actual Behavior

  • The POST request to /api/v1/workspace/{workspaceId}/document/add-texts consistently returns a 404 Not Found error.

Diagnostic Log

To confirm this issue, I ran a sanity check script to test multiple endpoints. The results definitively prove the problem:
--- API Sanity Check Start ---
This will test multiple API endpoints to find out which ones are "live".

[Test 1] GET /api/v1/workspaces (Known to be working)
-> Result: Status Code 200

[Test 2] POST /api/v1/workspace/{id}/document/add-texts (From API docs, but failing)
-> Result: Status Code 404

[Test 3] POST /api/v1/document/create-text (An older, deprecated endpoint)
-> Result: Status Code 404

--- Check End ---

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

@shatfield4 commented on GitHub (Dec 11, 2025):

I have downloaded the latest desktop version of AnythingLLM and was unable to replicate the problem you are having here.

I don't know where you are seeing the documentation for this endpoint at /api/v1/workspace/{id}/document/add-texts. Looking at our backend I do not see that endpoint declared anywhere.

Closing for now but if you can provide a screenshot of the /api/docs page showing this endpoint we can reopen and revisit your issue.
