This operation returns a list of all indexes in a project.

List indexes

Whether [deletion protection](http://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/prevent-index-deletion) is enabled/disabled for the index.


The IndexModel describes the configuration and status of a Pinecone index.

The dimensions of the vectors to be inserted in the index.

The URL address where the index is hosted.

The distance metric to be used for similarity search. You can use 'euclidean', 'cosine', or 'dotproduct'.

The name of the index. Resource name must be 1-45 characters long, start and end with an alphanumeric character, and consist only of lower case alphanumeric characters or '-'.


Configuration needed to deploy a pod-based index.

The environment where the index is hosted.

Configuration for the behavior of Pinecone's internal metadata index. By default, all metadata is indexed; when `metadata_config` is present, only specified metadata fields are indexed. These configurations are only valid for use with pod-based indexes.

By default, all metadata is indexed; to change this behavior, use this property to specify an array of metadata fields that should be indexed.

The type of pod to use. One of `s1`, `p1`, or `p2` appended with `.` and one of `x1`, `x2`, `x4`, or `x8`.

The number of pods to be used in the index. This should be equal to `shards` x `replicas`.'

The number of replicas. Replicas duplicate your index. They provide higher availability and throughput. Replicas can be scaled up or down as your needs change.

The number of shards. Shards split your data across multiple pods so you can fit more data into an index.

The name of the collection to be used as the source for the index.

Configuration needed to deploy a serverless index.

The public cloud where you would like your index hosted.

The region where you would like your index to be created. 

ApiKeyAuth

A list containing one serverless index and one pod-based index.

The list of indexes that exist in the project.

The response shape used for all error responses.

This operation deploys a Pinecone index. This is where you specify the measure of similarity, the dimension of vectors to be stored in the index, which cloud provider you would like to deploy with, and more.
  
For guidance and examples, see [Create an index](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/create-an-index#create-a-serverless-index).


Describe an index

This operation deletes an existing index.

This operation configures an existing index. 

For serverless indexes, you can configure only index deletion protection and tags. For pod-based indexes, you can configure the pod size, number of replicas, tags, and index deletion protection. 

It is not possible to change the pod type of a pod-based index. However, you can create a collection from a pod-based index and then [create a new pod-based index with a different pod type](http://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/create-an-index#create-an-index-from-a-collection) from the collection. For guidance and examples, see [Configure an index](http://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/configure-an-index).

The `describe_index_stats` operation returns statistics about the contents of an index, including the vector count per namespace, the number of dimensions, and the index fullness.

Serverless indexes scale automatically as needed, so index fullness is relevant only for pod-based indexes.

For pod-based indexes, the index fullness result may be inaccurate during pod resizing; to get the status of a pod resizing process, use [`describe_index`](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/control-plane/describe_index).

Get index stats

The `upsert` operation writes vectors into a namespace. If a new value is upserted for an existing vector ID, it will overwrite the previous value.

For guidance and examples, see [Upsert data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/upsert-data).

Upsert vectors

The `query` operation searches a namespace, using a query vector. It retrieves the ids of the most similar items in a namespace, along with their similarity scores.

For guidance and examples, see [Query data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/query-data).

Query vectors

The `fetch` operation looks up and returns vectors, by ID, from a single namespace. The returned vectors include the vector data and/or metadata.

For guidance and examples, see [Fetch data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/fetch-data).

Fetch vectors

The `update` operation updates a vector in a namespace. If a value is included, it will overwrite the previous value. If a `set_metadata` is included, the values of the fields specified in it will be added or overwrite the previous value.

For guidance and examples, see [Update data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/update-data).

Update a vector

The `delete` operation deletes vectors, by id, from a single namespace.

For guidance and examples, see [Delete data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/delete-data).

Delete vectors

The `list` operation lists the IDs of vectors in a single namespace of a serverless index. An optional prefix can be passed to limit the results to IDs with a common prefix.

By default, `list` returns up to 100 IDs per page in sorted order (bitwise "C" collation). If the `limit` parameter is set, `list` returns up to that number of IDs instead. Whenever there are additional IDs to return, the response also includes a `pagination_token` that you can use to get the next batch of IDs. When the response does not include a `pagination_token`, there are no more IDs to return.

For guidance and examples, see [List record IDs](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/list-record-ids).

**Note:** `list_vectors` is supported only for serverless indexes.

List vector IDs

The `start_import` operation starts an asynchronous import of vectors from object storage into an index. 

For guidance and examples, see [Import data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/import-data).

Start import

The `list_imports` operation lists all recent and ongoing import operations. 

By default, `list_imports` returns up to 100 imports per page. If the `limit` parameter is set, `list` returns up to that number of imports instead. Whenever there are additional IDs to return, the response also includes a `pagination_token` that you can use to get the next batch of imports. When the response does not include a `pagination_token`, there are no more imports to return.

For guidance and examples, see [Import data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/import-data).

List imports

The `describe_import` operation returns details of a specific import operation. 

For guidance and examples, see [Import data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/import-data).

Describe an import

The `cancel_import` operation cancels an import operation if it is not yet finished. It has no effect if the operation is already finished. 

For guidance and examples, see [Import data](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/import-data).

The `list` operation lists the IDs of vectors in a single namespace of a serverless index. An optional prefix can be passed to limit the results to IDs with a common prefix.

`list` returns up to 100 IDs at a time by default in sorted order (bitwise "C" collation). If the `limit` parameter is set, `list` returns up to that number of IDs instead. Whenever there are additional IDs to return, the response also includes a `pagination_token` that you can use to get the next batch of IDs. When the response does not include a `pagination_token`, there are no more IDs to return.

For guidance and examples, see [List record IDs](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/data/list-record-ids).
