This page shows you how to view project details, rename a project, and delete a project.

You must be an organization owner or project owner to edit project details or delete a project.

​
View project details

You can view the details of a project, as in the following example:

An access token must be provided to complete this action through the Admin API. The Admin API is in public preview.

curl
PINECONE_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
PROJECT_ID="3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"

curl -X GET "https://api.pinecone.io/admin/projects/$PROJECT_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $PINECONE_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
	-H "X-Pinecone-Api-Version: 2025-04" \
    -H "accept: application/json"

The example returns a response like the following:

{
  "id": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6",
  "name": "example-project",
  "max_pods": 0,
  "force_encryption_with_cmek": false,
  "organization_id": "string",
  "created_at": "2025-03-17T00:30:23.262Z"
}
