Common errors

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/docs/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/docs/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/docs/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/docs/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/docs/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.

`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 [Get record IDs](https://docs.pinecone.io/docs/get-record-ids).

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

List vector IDs

The `describe_index_stats` operation returns statistics about the contents of an index, including the vector count per namespace and 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://www.pinecone.io/docs/api/operation/describe_index/).

Get index stats

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

List indexes

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/docs/create-an-index#create-a-serverless-index).

Describe an index

This operation deletes an existing index.

This operation specifies the pod type and number of replicas for an index. It applies to pod-based indexes only. Serverless indexes scale automatically based on usage.

Configure an index

This operation returns a list of your Pinecone collections.

Serverless and starter indexes do not support collections.


List collections

This operation creates a Pinecone collection.

Serverless and starter indexes do not support collections.


Create a collection

This operation gets a description of a collection.

Serverless and starter indexes do not support collections.
