Schemas 13

The contract defines 13 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are ReplicationReplicateDetailsReplicaResponse (12 properties), ReplicationReplicateReplicaRequest (5 properties), ReplicationReplicateForceDeleteRequest (5 properties), ReplicationScaleApplyResponse (3 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

ReplicationShardingStateResponse
object
Provides the detailed sharding state for one or more collections, including the distribution of shards and their replicas across the cluster nodes.
1 property
ErrorResponse
object
An error response returned by Weaviate endpoints.
1 property
ReplicationReplicateReplicaRequest
object
Specifies the parameters required to initiate a shard replica movement operation between two nodes for a given collection and shard. This request defines the s…
5 properties 4 required
ReplicationReplicateDetailsReplicaStatus
object
Represents the current or historical status of a shard replica involved in a replication operation, including its operational state and any associated errors.
3 properties
ReplicationReplicateDetailsReplicaStatusError
object

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Weaviate replication API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
