Responses use a flat, unwrapped shape: most endpoints return the resource at the top level, and list endpoints return a wrapper object with pagination inline (e.g. `{ from, to, count, chats: [...] }`). The documented response schemas describe these shapes directly. servers: - url: https://api.periskope.app security: - bearerAuth: [] paths: /v1/knowledge-base: get: tags: - Knowledge Base summary: List knowledge base entries description: >- Returns every entry in the AI knowledge base — FAQs, document chunks and self-learned entries — newest first. operationId: listKnowledgeBase parameters: - schema: type: integer nullable: true minimum: 0 description: >- Number of records to skip before the first returned record.
