PDFKnowledgeSource APIStatusError

[maxnaro]

When initializing a PDFKnowledgeSource component with CrewAI, I’m encountering a critical error that prevents document ingestion: APIStatusError.init() missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: ‘response’ and ‘body’. The error occurs specifically during the document “upserting” process, where PDFKnowledgeSource tries to load PDF content into Mem0 storage. The logs show [ERROR]: Failed to upsert documents: APIStatusError.init() missing 2 required keyword-only arguments followed by [WARNING]: Failed to init knowledge.

If anyone knows how to deal with the error, I would greatly appreciate that, thank you.

Hi Max and welcome to the community Niya

What version of crewai are you running @maxnaro

[niyathimariya]

Name: crewai
Version: 0.121.1

Im getting
[ERROR]: Failed to upsert documents: APIStatusError.init() missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: ‘response’ and ‘body’
[WARNING]: Failed to init knowledge: APIStatusError.init() missing 2 required keyword-only arguments: ‘response’ and ‘body’

while trying to add knowledge_sources to crew

self.crew = Crew(
agents=[
…
],
tasks=,
process=Process.sequential,
verbose=True,
manager_llm=self.llm,
knowledge_sources=[pdf_knowledge],
embedder=embedder_config,
)

pdf_knowledge = PDFKnowledgeSource(
    file_paths=["sample.pdf"],  
)

From reading through there are a couple of areas

• worth upgrading to latest version
• check the path to the pdf_filename
• ensure your environment is working correctly

Whenever I get stuck like this.. I use crewai create crew test a new crew and then add in the tool I want to use… It means you can avoid any other code etc.

Hope this helps
