Get Started#
For an immediate USD Search API experience, you can explore the read-only sample USD Search API, which is pre-populated with example data, directly through the cloud API on the NVIDIA API Catalog. This allows you to familiarize yourself with a subset of the API’s functionality without needing to deploy or index any data initially.
To create a custom instance with your own indexed data, follow the instructions in Deploy, Configure, and Develop to set up USD Search API within your infrastructure.
NVIDIA API Catalog#
USD Search API is available on the NVIDIA API Catalog. The catalog features a sample API endpoint that you can try.
Please note, USD Search API on the API catalog is a simplified and condensed version of the API. It is a pre-rendered, pre-indexed SimReady database for demonstration purposes. Please confine your search query to within the warehouse domain.
Text Based Search#
To use USD Search API with text, enter a short description (1-2 words) for the USD asset you are searching for.

Note
You should confine your search query to commonly found assets within a warehouse, for example, “safety cone”, “cardboard box”, etc.
Image Based Search#
To perform an image query with USD Search API, select one of the preloaded images as a search input.

To explore other USD Search API features, please follow the instructions in Deploy, Configure, and Develop and test the features on your own instance.
