## Create Index

`IndexCreateResponse beta().indexes().create(IndexCreateParamsparams, RequestOptionsrequestOptions = RequestOptions.none())`

**post** `/api/v1/indexes`

Create a searchable index over a source directory.

### Parameters

- `IndexCreateParams params`

  - `Optional<String> organizationId`

  - `Optional<String> projectId`

  - `String sourceDirectoryId`

    ID of the source directory containing your documents.

  - `Optional<String> description`

    Optional description of the index.

  - `Optional<String> name`

    Optional display name for the index. If omitted, the index is named after the source directory.

  - `Optional<List<Product>> products`

    Product configurations for syncing. Omit to use a default parse configuration. Include an explicit entry per product type (e.g. parse, extract) to override the default.

    - `String productConfigId`

      ID of the product configuration.

    - `String productType`

      Product type. One of: parse, extract.

  - `Optional<List<String>> storeAttachments`

    Attachment kinds to store alongside parsed output. Each entry must be one of: screenshots, items. For example, ['screenshots'] renders and stores per-page screenshots; ['items'] stores structured items with bounding boxes. Omit or pass an empty list to skip attachments.

  - `Optional<String> syncFrequency`

    How often to re-run the sync. One of: manual, daily, on_source_change. Defaults to manual.

  - `Optional<VectorTarget> vectorTarget`

    Vector export destination for the index. 'DEFAULT' exports to the managed vector DB destination resolved from configuration. 'DISABLED' skips vector export — the export destination falls back to 'Download'.

    - `DEFAULT("DEFAULT")`

    - `DISABLED("DISABLED")`

### Returns

- `class IndexCreateResponse:`

  A searchable index over a directory of documents.

  - `String id`

    Unique identifier

  - `String exportConfigId`

    ID of the export configuration.

  - `String name`

    Index name.

  - `String projectId`

    Project this index belongs to.

  - `String sourceDirectoryId`

    ID of the source directory.

  - `String syncConfigId`

    ID of the sync configuration.

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> createdAt`

    Creation datetime

  - `Optional<String> description`

    Index description.

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> lastExportedAt`

    Last export time.

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> lastSyncedAt`

    Last sync time.

  - `Optional<Metadata> metadata`

    Build state and diagnostic info.

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> updatedAt`

    Update datetime

public final class Main {
    private Main() {}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LlamaCloudClient client = LlamaCloudOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

        IndexCreateParams params = IndexCreateParams.builder()
            .sourceDirectoryId("dir-abc123")
            .build();
