Slite Knowledge Base

Slite is a team knowledge base with AI-powered search. Use this skill to query notes, ask questions, search content, and audit knowledge health via the Slite API.

Setup

Generate an API key

  1. Open the organization menu (top left of the Slite app)
  2. Click Settings
  3. In the left panel, click API
  4. Click Create a new key and follow the prompts
  5. Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once

You can create multiple keys and revoke unused ones from the same page.

Configure

export SLITE_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

All endpoints use Bearer token auth against https://api.slite.com/v1.

# Base pattern for all requests
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLITE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.slite.com/v1/<endpoint>"

Authentication check

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLITE_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.slite.com/v1/me" | jq .

Returns: displayName, email, organizationName, organizationDomain.

Ask (AI-powered Q&A)

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
401 Unauthorized Check SLITE_API_KEY is set and valid. Regenerate at Settings → API
422 Validation error Check required parameters. query is required for /users and /groups
429 Rate limited Back off and retry. Reduce request frequency
404 Not found Verify the note/user/group ID exists and you have access
Empty search results Try broader query terms, check parentNoteId scope, try includeArchived=true
Pagination not working Use nextCursor from response for notes, page param for search

Tips

  • The /ask endpoint uses AI to answer from your knowledge base — great for natural language queries
  • Use format=md when fetching note content for the most readable output
  • Knowledge management endpoints help audit content health: find inactive, empty, or outdated notes
  • Paginated endpoints return hasNextPage and nextCursor — loop until hasNextPage is false
  • Search supports hitsPerPage up to 100 (use page starting at 0)
  • Knowledge management endpoints accept first up to 50 per page
