Fill vector store with CURL does not work

Question

I want to fill the vector memory of my project in Azure AI Foundry via a CURL command. I use the way described in the documentation

Uploading the file, which apparently has to be done before adding the file to the vector store, works fine. But adding the same file to the vector store does not work - the command, the variables you see below are unchanged and work for the CURL command that first uploads the file.

This is the command:

curl --request POST \ --url "$AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT/vector_stores/vs_v383i2msmd8939d/files?api-version=2025-05-01" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{"file_id": "$FILE_ID"}"

The error message I get is:

"error": {
"message": "No vector store found with id 'vs_v383i2msmd8939d'.",
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"param": null,
"code": null
}

The vector store is definitely available and I could also upload this file manually, but I would like to do this automatically via a CI/CD pipeline, where this CURL command is then executed.

Is the error correct perhaps? Are you sure the ID is correct? You can use GET to get a list of vector stores. Does the ID appear in there? — Panagiotis Kanavos

Yes, it appears when I use the GET endpoint. But when I call the store with its ID, it simply says: "No vector store found with id <...>" — HendrikD2005

Solution found - it took some time until the created vector stores actually appeared in the Azure AI Foundry Portal. I opened several tabs and reloaded them with CTRL+F5 - one tab contained the vector stores and the uploaded files, while other tabs did not. Seems like there are some synchronisation errors or something. Just reload the page more often, clear the cache, wait and see. :-/ — HendrikD2005

You mean GET showed they existed in a good status, but they couldn't be used until they also appeared in the portal? That's probably a bug. It's also worth posting an answer explaining this, especially if GET showed eg status:completed — Panagiotis Kanavos

Yes, "status: completed". So the stores were available and ready. — HendrikD2005

Status ‘completed’ apparently does not mean that the storage is already complete. Just reload the page more often, clear the cache, wait and see. 🤷‍♂️
