List indexes

Create 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).


Create a serverless integrated inference index for a specific embedding model.

Refer to the [model guide](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/inference/understanding-inference#embedding-models) for available models and model details.

Create an index for an embedding model

Describe an index

Delete an index

Configure an existing index. For serverless indexes, you can configure index deletion protection, tags, and integrated inference embedding settings for the index. 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/pods/create-a-pod-based-index#create-a-pod-index-from-a-collection) from the collection. For guidance and examples, see [Configure an index](http://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/pods/manage-pod-based-indexes).

Configure an index

Return 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.

Get index stats

Upsert 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).

Upsert vectors

Upsert text into a namespace.

Upserting text is supported only for [indexes with integrated embedding](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/2025-01/control-plane/create_for_model).

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

Upsert text

Look up and return 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

Update 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

Delete vectors by id from a single namespace.

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

Delete vectors

List 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.

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).

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

List vector IDs

Search a namespace with a query vector or record ID and return the IDs of the most similar records, along with their similarity scores.

Search with a vector

Search a namespace with a query text, query vector, or record ID and return the most similar records, along with their similarity scores. Optionally, rerank the initial results based on their relevance to the query. 

Searching with text is supported only for [indexes with integrated embedding](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/create-an-index#integrated-embedding). Searching with a query vector or record ID is supported for all indexes. 

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

Search with text

Start 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

List 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

Return details of a specific import operation.

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

Describe an import

Cancel 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).

Create an index for vectors created with an external embedding model.

For guidance and examples, see [Create an index](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/create-an-index#external-embedding).

Create an index with integrated embedding.

With this type of index, you provide source text, and Pinecone uses a [hosted embedding model](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/inference/understanding-inference#embedding-models) to convert the text automatically during [upsert](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/2025-01/data-plane/upsert_records) and [search](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/2025-01/data-plane/search_records).

For guidance and examples, see [Create an index](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/create-an-index#integrated-embedding).

Create an index with integrated embedding

Configure an existing index. 

For serverless indexes, you can configure index deletion protection, tags, and integrated inference embedding settings for the index. 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/pods/create-a-pod-based-index#create-a-pod-index-from-a-collection) from the collection. For guidance and examples, see [Configure an index](http://docs.pinecone.io/guides/indexes/pods/manage-pod-based-indexes).

Upsert source text into a namespace. Pinecone converts the text to vectors automatically using the hosted embedding model associated with the index.

Upserting text is supported only for [indexes with integrated embedding](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/2025-01/control-plane/create_for_model).

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