Api-Key

string

header

required

An API Key is required to call Pinecone APIs. Get yours from the console.

Response

This operation returns a list of all the indexes that you have previously created, and which are associated with the given project

The list of indexes that exist in the project.

indexes

object[]

Show child attributes

indexes.name

string

required

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 '-'.

Required string length: 1 - 45

Example:

"example-index"

indexes.metric

enum<string>

required

The distance metric to be used for similarity search. You can use 'euclidean', 'cosine', or 'dotproduct'. If the 'vector_type' is 'sparse', the metric must be 'dotproduct'. If the vector_type is dense, the metric defaults to 'cosine'.

Available options:

cosine,

euclidean,

dotproduct

indexes.host

string

required

The URL address where the index is hosted.

Example:

"semantic-search-c01b5b5.svc.us-west1-gcp.pinecone.io"

indexes.spec

object

required

Show child attributes

indexes.spec.pod

object

Configuration needed to deploy a pod-based index.

Show child attributes

indexes.spec.pod.environment

string

required

The environment where the index is hosted.

Example:

"us-east1-gcp"

indexes.spec.pod.pod_type

string

default:p1.x1

required

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

indexes.spec.pod.replicas

integer<int32>

default:1

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.

Required range: x >= 1

indexes.spec.pod.shards

integer<int32>

default:1

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

Required range: x >= 1

indexes.spec.pod.pods

integer

default:1

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

Required range: x >= 1

Example:

1

indexes.spec.pod.metadata_config

object

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.

Show child attributes

indexes.spec.pod.metadata_config.indexed

string[]

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

Example:

{
  "indexed": ["genre", "title", "imdb_rating"]
}

indexes.spec.pod.source_collection

string

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

Example:

"movie-embeddings"

Example:

{
  "environment": "us-east1-gcp",
  "metadata_config": {
    "indexed": ["genre", "title", "imdb_rating"]
  },
  "pod_type": "p1.x1",
  "pods": 1,
  "replicas": 1,
  "shards": 1,
  "source_collection": "movie-embeddings"
}

indexes.spec.serverless

object

Configuration needed to deploy a serverless index.

Show child attributes

indexes.spec.serverless.cloud

enum<string>

required

The public cloud where you would like your index hosted.

Available options:

gcp,

aws,

azure

Example:

"aws"

indexes.spec.serverless.region

string

required

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

Example:

"us-east-1"

Example:

{
  "pod": {
    "environment": "us-east-1-aws",
    "metadata_config": {
      "indexed": ["genre", "title", "imdb_rating"]
    },
    "pod_type": "p1.x1",
    "pods": 1,
    "replicas": 1,
    "shards": 1
  }
}

Terminating,

Ready

Example:

{
  "ready": true,
  "state": "ScalingUpPodSize"
}

indexes.vector_type

string

default:dense

required

The index vector type. You can use 'dense' or 'sparse'. If 'dense', the vector dimension must be specified. If 'sparse', the vector dimension should not be specified.

indexes.dimension

integer<int32>

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

Required range: 1 <= x <= 20000

Example:

1536

indexes.deletion_protection

enum<string>

default:disabled

Whether deletion protection is enabled/disabled for the index.

Available options:

disabled,

enabled

indexes.tags

object

Custom user tags added to an index. Keys must be 80 characters or less. Values must be 120 characters or less. Keys must be alphanumeric, '', or '-'. Values must be alphanumeric, ';', '@', '', '-', '.', '+', or ' '. To unset a key, set the value to be an empty string.
