Batch update points

Returns all points in a page-by-page manner.
By default, all resulting points are sorted by {id}.
To query the next page specify the last {id} in the offset field.
Additionally, you can specify filters and sorting options.

Scroll points

Counts the number of points that match a specified filtering condition.

Count points

Points

Retrieves the closest points based on vector similarity and given filtering conditions.

If set, overrides global timeout for this request. Unit is seconds.

Search points

Retrieves the closest points in batches based on vector similarity and given filtering conditions.

Search batch points

Retrieves the closest points based on vector similarity and given filtering conditions, grouped by a given payload field.

Search point groups

Retrieves points that are closer to stored positive examples and further from negative examples.

Recommend points

Retrieves points in batches that are closer to stored positive examples and further from negative examples.

Recommend batch points

Retrieves points that are closer to stored positive examples and further from negative examples. Results are grouped by the specified payload field.

Recommend point groups

Retrieves the most similar points to a given target, constrained by the provided context.
Context Search: When only the context is provided (without a target), pairs of points are used to generate a loss that guides the search towards the area where most positive examples overlap. The score minimizes finding points closer to a negative example than to a positive example. The maximum score a point can achieve is 0.0, meaning many points may have a score of 0.0.
Target Search: When a target is provided (with or without context), the score consists of two parts: the integer part represents the rank with respect to the context, and the decimal part relates to the distance to the target. The context score for each pair is +1 if the point is closer to a positive example than to a negative example, and -1 otherwise.

Discover points

Retrieves points in batches based on the target and/or positive and negative example pairs.

Discover batch points

Universally query points. This endpoint covers all capabilities of search, recommend, discover, filters. But also enables hybrid and multi-stage queries.

Create a snapshot (storage)

Downloads the specified snapshot of the entire storage as a file.

Download a snapshot (storage)

Deletes the specified snapshot of the entire storage.

Delete a snapshot (storage)

Recovers the shard of a local collection from an uploaded snapshot. This will overwrite any collection data, which is stored in this shard.

RecoverShardFromUploadedSnapshotRequest

Recover from an uploaded snapshot (shard)

Recovers the shard of a local collection from a snapshot. This will overwrite any collection data, which is stored in this shard.

Recover from a snapshot (shard)
