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.
PINECONE_ACCESS_TOKEN="YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
PROJECT_ID="32c8235a-5220-4a80-a9f1-69c24109e6f2"

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": "32c8235a-5220-4a80-a9f1-69c24109e6f2",
  "name": "example-project",
