Creating and connecting to an index

pc = Pinecone(api_key="API_KEY")

pc.create_index(
    name='datacamp-index',
    dimension=1536,
    spec=ServerlessSpec(
        cloud='aws', 
        region='us-east-1'
    )
)

index = pc.Index('datacamp-index')

Ingesting vectors

vectors = [
    {
        "id": "0",
        "values": [0.025525547564029694, ..., 0.0188823901116848]
    },
        ...,
    {
        "id": "9",
        "values": [0.020712468773126602, ..., 0.006418442353606224]
    },
]

Checking dimensionality

vector_dims = [len(vector['values']) == 1536 for vector in vectors]

all(vector_dims)

True

Upserting vectors

.upsert(): Update or insert

index.upsert(

    vectors=vectors

)


index.describe_index_stats()

{'dimension': 1536,
 'index_fullness': 0.0,
 'namespaces': {'': {'vector_count': 10}},
 'total_vector_count': 10}

Ingesting vectors with metadata

vectors = [
    {
        "id": "0",
        "values": [0.025525547564029694, ..., 0.0188823901116848]
        "metadata": {"genre": "productivity", "year": 2020}
    },
        ...,
]

Metadata: data about data!
- Can be utilized for metadata filtering → Chapter 2

Upserting vectors with metadata

index.upsert(
    vectors=vectors
)

Remember to use the structure:

    {
        "id": "0",
        "values": [0.025525547564029694, ..., 0.0188823901116848]
        "metadata": {"genre": "productivity", "year": 2020}
    },
        ...,

Let's practice!
