How to add document for search in marqo

Answer 1

I think the documents need to be a list of dicts. See here https://marqo.pages.dev/API-Reference/documents/

you are getting the error because the add_document() method takes a list of python dictionaries as an argument not a string, so you are to pass the document as a value to any key you assign to it. But it is advisable to add a title and also an id for later referencing. Here is what i mean;

mq.index("my-first-index").add_documents([
    {
        "Title": the_title_of_your_document,
        "Description": your_document,
        "_id": your_id,
    }]
)

the id can be any string of your choice. You can add as many dictionaries as you want to the list, each dictionary represents a document.
