One stored query with its request body, response body and the retrieved chunks in one normalised shape (results[]: rank, score, text, filename, document id and a page, time or sheet location, whether the query ran on v2 or v3).

query_id is the id from GET /v2/queries or the query_id field of a query response. The request_id a query response returns (req_...) is accepted in its place, so a query can be fetched straight after running it.

body_status says what came back: available, archived (bodies are archived 90 days after the query and only the summary remains) or missing. A query from another organization or environment is a 404, the same as an unknown id.

One stored query with its request body, response body and the retrieved chunks in one normalised shape (`results[]`: rank, score, text, filename, document id and a page, time or sheet location, whether the query ran on v2 or v3). `query_id` is the id from `GET /v2/queries` or the `query_id` field of a query response. The `request_id` a query response returns (`req_...`) is accepted in its place, so a query can be fetched straight after running it. `body_status` says what came back: `available`, `archived` (bodies are archived 90 days after the query and only the summary remains) or `missing`. A query from another organization or environment is a 404, the same as an unknown id.
