This document provides a complete reference for all Pinecone CLI commands. ## Command structure The Pinecone CLI uses a hierarchical command structure. Each command consists of a primary command followed by one or more subcommands and optional flags. ```bash theme={null} pc [flags] pc [flags] ``` For example: ```bash theme={null} # Top-level command with flags pc target -o "organization-name" -p "project-name" # Command (index) and subcommand (list) pc index list # Command (index) and subcommand (create) with flags pc index create \ --name my-index \ --dimension 1536 \ --metric cosine \ --cloud aws \ --region us-east-1 # Command (auth) and nested subcommands (local-keys prune) with flags pc auth local-keys prune --id proj-abc123 --skip-confirmation ``` ## Getting help The CLI provides help for commands at every level: ```bash theme={null} # top-level help pc --help pc -h # command help pc auth --help pc index --help pc project --help # subcommmand help pc index create --help pc project create --help pc auth configure --help # nested subcommand help pc auth local-keys prune --help ``` ## Exit codes All commands return exit code `0` for success and `1` for error. ## Available commands This section describes all commands offered by the Pinecone CLI. ### Top-level commands **Description** Authenticate via a web browser. After login, set a [target org and project](/reference/cli/target-context) with `pc target` before accessing data. This command defaults to an initial organization and project to which you have access (these values display in the terminal), but you can change them with `pc target`. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc login ``` **Flags** None **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Log in via browser pc login # Then set target context pc target -o "my-org" -p "my-project" ``` This is an alias for `pc auth login`. Both commands perform the same operation. **Description** Clears all authentication data from local storage, including: * User login token * Service account credentials (client ID and secret) * Default (manually specified) API key * Locally managed keys (for all projects) * Target organization and project context **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc logout ``` **Flags** None **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Clear all credentials and context pc logout ``` This is an alias for `pc auth logout`. Both commands perform the same operation. Does not delete managed API keys from Pinecone's servers. Run `pc auth local-keys prune` before logging out to fully clean up. **Description** Set the target organization and project for the CLI. Supports interactive organization and project selection or direct specification via flags. For details, see [CLI target context](/reference/cli/target-context). **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc target [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :------------------ | :--------- | :----------------------------- | | `--clear` | | Clear target context | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | | `--org` | `-o` | Organization name | | `--organization-id` | | Organization ID | | `--project` | `-p` | Project name | | `--project-id` | | Project ID | | `--show` | `-s` | Display current target context | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Interactive targeting after login pc login pc target # Set specific organization and project pc target -o "my-org" -p "my-project" # Show current context pc target --show # Clear all context pc target --clear ``` **Description** Displays version information for the CLI, including the version number, commit SHA, and build date. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc version ``` **Flags** None **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Display version information pc version ``` **Description** Displays information about the currently authenticated user. To use this command, you must be authenticated via user login. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc whoami ``` **Flags** None **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} pc whoami ``` This is an alias for `pc auth whoami`. Both commands perform the same operation. ### Authentication **Description** Selectively clears specific authentication data without affecting other credentials. At least one flag is required. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc auth clear [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :------------------ | :--------- | :-------------------------------------------------- | | `--api-key` | | Clear only the default (manually specified) API key | | `--service-account` | | Clear only service account credentials | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Clear only the default (manually specified) API key pc auth clear --api-key pc auth status # Clear service account pc auth clear --service-account ``` More surgical than `pc auth logout`. Does not clear user login token or managed keys. For those, use `pc auth logout` or `pc auth local-keys prune`. **Description** Configures service account credentials or a default (manually specified) API key. Service accounts automatically target the organization and prompt for project selection, unless there is only one project. A default API key overrides any previously specified target organization/project context. When setting a service account, this operation clears the user login token, if one exists. For details, see [CLI target context](/reference/cli/target-context). **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc auth configure [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------------------- | :--------- | :--------------------------------------------------- | | `--api-key` | | Default API key to use for authentication | | `--client-id` | | Service account client ID | | `--client-secret` | | Service account client secret | | `--client-secret-stdin` | | Read client secret from stdin | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | | `--project-id` | `-p` | Target project ID (optional, interactive if omitted) | | `--prompt-if-missing` | | Prompt for missing credentials | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Service account setup (auto-targets org and prompts for project) pc auth configure --client-id my-id --client-secret my-secret # Service account with specific project pc auth configure \ --client-id my-id \ --client-secret my-secret \ -p proj-123 # Default API key (overrides any target context) pc auth configure --api-key pcsk_abc123 ``` `pc auth configure --api-key "YOUR_API_KEY"` does the same thing as `pc config set-api-key "YOUR_API_KEY"`. To learn about targeting a project after authenticating with a service account, see [CLI target context](/reference/cli/target-context). **Description** Displays all [managed API keys](/reference/cli/authentication#managed-keys) stored locally by the CLI, with various details. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc auth local-keys list [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :--------- | :--------- | :----------------------------------------- | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | | `--reveal` | | Show the actual API key values (sensitive) | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # List all locally managed keys pc auth local-keys list # Show key values pc auth local-keys list --reveal # After storing a key pc api-key create -n "my-key" --store pc auth local-keys list ``` **Description** Deletes locally stored [managed API keys](/reference/cli/authentication#managed-keys) from local storage and Pinecone's servers. Filters by origin (`cli`/`user`/`all`) or project ID. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc auth local-keys prune [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :-------------------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------------------------------- | | `--dry-run` | | Preview deletions without applying | | `--id` | | Prune keys for specific project ID only | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | | `--origin` | `-o` | Filter by origin - `cli`, `user`, or `all` (default: `all`) | | `--skip-confirmation` | | Skip confirmation prompt | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Preview deletions pc auth local-keys prune --dry-run # Delete CLI-created keys only pc auth local-keys prune -o cli --skip-confirmation # Delete for specific project pc auth local-keys prune --id proj-abc123 # Before/after check pc auth local-keys list pc auth local-keys prune -o cli pc auth local-keys list ``` This deletes keys from both local storage and Pinecone servers. Use `--dry-run` to preview before committing. **Description** Authenticate via user login in the web browser. After login, [set a target org and project](/reference/cli/target-context). **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc auth login pc login # shorthand ``` **Flags** None **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Login and set target pc auth login pc target -o "my-org" -p "my-project" pc index list ``` Tokens refresh automatically and remain valid for up to 120 days. If you're inactive for more than 30 days, you must re-authenticate. Logging in clears any existing service account credentials. This command does the same thing as `pc login`. **Description** Clears all authentication data from local storage, including: * User login token * Service account credentials (client ID and secret) * Default (manually specified) API key * Locally managed keys (for all projects) * Target organization and project context **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc auth logout ``` **Flags** None **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Clear all credentials and context pc auth logout ``` This command does the same thing as `pc logout`. Does not delete managed API keys from Pinecone's servers.

These options are mutually exclusive. **Description** Updates a vector's values, sparse values, or metadata by ID, or updates metadata for multiple vectors matching a filter. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc index vector update [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :----------------- | :--------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--index-name` | `-i` | Index name (required) | | `--namespace` | | Namespace containing the vector (default: `__default__`) | | `--id` | | Vector ID to update | | `--values` | | New vector values (inline JSON array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--sparse-indices` | | New sparse indices (inline JSON uint32 array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--sparse-values` | | New sparse values (inline JSON array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--metadata` | | New or updated metadata (inline JSON, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--filter` | | Metadata filter for bulk update (inline JSON, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--dry-run` | | Preview how many records would be updated without applying changes | | `--body` | | Request body JSON (inline, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Update metadata for a single vector pc index vector update -i my-index --id "vec1" --metadata '{"category":"updated"}' # Update values for a single vector pc index vector update -i my-index --id "vec1" --values '[0.2, 0.3, 0.4]' # Update sparse values # indices.json: [0, 5, 12] # values.json: [0.5, 0.3, 0.8] pc index vector update -i my-index --id "vec1" \ --sparse-indices ./indices.json \ --sparse-values ./values.json # Bulk update metadata by filter (preview first) pc index vector update -i my-index \ --filter '{"genre":{"$eq":"sci-fi"}}' \ --metadata '{"genre":"fantasy"}' \ --dry-run # Apply the bulk update pc index vector update -i my-index \ --filter '{"genre":{"$eq":"sci-fi"}}' \ --metadata '{"genre":"fantasy"}' ``` Use either `--id` for single vector updates or `--filter` for bulk updates. These options are mutually exclusive. **Description** Inserts or updates vectors in an index from a JSON or JSONL file, or inline JSON. The CLI automatically batches vectors for efficient uploading. Files can contain any number of vectors—the CLI splits them into batches and sends multiple API requests as needed. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc index vector upsert [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :------------- | :--------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--index-name` | `-i` | Index name (required) | | `--namespace` | | Namespace to upsert into (default: `__default__`) | | `--body` | | Request body JSON or JSONL (inline, `./path.json[l]`, or `-` for stdin) (required) | | `--batch-size` | `-b` | Size of batches to upsert (default: 500) | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Example** ```bash theme={null} # Upsert from JSON file (with "vectors" array) # vectors.json: {"vectors": [{"id": "vec1", "values": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3], "metadata": {"genre": "comedy"}}]} pc index vector upsert -i my-index --body ./vectors.json # Upsert with inline JSON pc index vector upsert -i my-index --body '{"vectors": [{"id": "vec1", "values": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3], "metadata": {"genre": "comedy"}}]}' # Upsert from JSONL file (one vector per line) # vectors.jsonl: {"id": "vec1", "values": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3]} # {"id": "vec2", "values": [0.4, 0.5, 0.6]} pc index vector upsert -i my-index --body ./vectors.jsonl # Upsert from stdin (same format as JSON or JSONL file) cat vectors.json | pc index vector upsert -i my-index --body - # Custom batch size (default: 500, max: 1000 per API request) pc index vector upsert -i my-index --body ./vectors.json --batch-size 1000 ``` **Batch size limits:** The API accepts up to 1000 vectors per request. The CLI defaults to batches of 500 vectors, but you can adjust this with `--batch-size` (up to 1000). Large files are automatically split into multiple batches. **File size:** There's no explicit file size limit—the CLI reads the entire file into memory and batches it automatically. Very large files are supported as long as they fit in available system memory. ### Records **Description** Search an index 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 an integrated embedding configured. Searching with a query vector or record ID is supported for all indexes. Exactly one primary query mode must be provided: * `--inputs` — query text (requires an index with integrated embedding) * `--id` — use an existing record's vector as the query * `--vector` — provide a dense vector directly (all index types) * `--sparse-indices` + `--sparse-values` — sparse vector (all index types) Combine `--vector` with `--sparse-indices`/`--sparse-values` for hybrid search. Use `--body` to pass a full request object; flags take precedence over `--body` when both specify the same field. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc index record search [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :----------------- | :--------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--index-name` | `-i` | Name of the index to search (required) | | `--inputs` | | Query inputs for text search (inline JSON, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin); requires integrated embedding.

Mutually exclusive with `--inputs` and `--vector`. | | `--vector` | `-v` | Dense vector values to search against (inline JSON float32 array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin). Mutually exclusive with `--inputs` and `--id`. | | `--sparse-indices` | | Sparse vector indices (inline JSON int32 array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin). Must be used together with `--sparse-values`. | | `--sparse-values` | | Sparse vector values (inline JSON float32 array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin). Must be used together with `--sparse-indices`. | | `--top-k` | `-k` | Number of results to return (required) | | `--namespace` | | Namespace to search | | `--filter` | | Metadata filter (inline JSON, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--rerank` | | Re-score results using an inference model (inline JSON, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin). Required fields: `model` (string), `rank_fields` (string array). | | `--match-terms` | | Keyword terms filter for sparse integrated indexes (inline JSON, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin). Required field: `terms` (string array). Requires `--inputs`. | | `--fields` | | Fields to return in results (inline JSON string array, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin) | | `--body` | | Full request body JSON (inline, `./path.json`, or `-` for stdin). Flags take precedence when both specify the same field. | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Examples** ```bash theme={null} # Text search (integrated embedding indexes only) pc index record search --index-name my-index --inputs '{"text":"disease prevention"}' --top-k 10 pc index record search --index-name my-index --inputs '{"text":"disease prevention"}' --namespace my-namespace --top-k 5 pc index record search --index-name my-index --inputs '{"text":"disease prevention"}' --filter '{"category":"health"}' --top-k 10 pc index record search --index-name my-index --inputs '{"text":"disease prevention"}' --fields '["_id","chunk_text","category"]' --top-k 10 pc index record search --index-name my-index --inputs '{"text":"disease prevention"}' --rerank '{"model":"bge-reranker-v2-m3","rank_fields":["chunk_text"]}' --top-k 10 pc index record search --index-name my-index --inputs '{"text":"disease prevention"}' --match-terms '{"terms":["vaccine","prevention"]}' --top-k 10 # Search by record ID for query vector (all index types) pc index record search --index-name my-index --id rec-123 --top-k 10 # Vector search (all index types) pc index record search --index-name my-index --vector '[0.1,0.2,0.3]' --top-k 10 pc index record search --index-name my-index --sparse-indices '[1,5,9]' --sparse-values '[0.4,0.8,0.2]' --top-k 10 pc index record search --index-name my-index --vector '[0.1,0.2,0.3]' --sparse-indices '[1,5,9]' --sparse-values '[0.4,0.8,0.2]' --top-k 10 # Full request body (must include top_k in the body) pc index record search --index-name my-index --body ./search.json ``` ```text CLI theme={null} Usage: 5 (read units) ID SCORE FIELDS rec-001 0.912340 {"category":"health","chunk_text":"vaccine research..."} rec-002 0.887210 {"category":"health","chunk_text":"disease prevention..."} ``` **Description** Upsert records into an integrated index namespace from a JSON or JSONL payload. The `--body` flag accepts a JSON object containing a `"records"` array of `IntegratedRecord` objects, a raw JSON array of records, or a JSONL stream of records (one object per line). The value can be inline JSON, a path to a `.json` or `.jsonl` file, or `-` to read from stdin. Records are sent in batches. The default batch size is 96 (the API maximum). Use `--batch-size` to send smaller batches. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc index record upsert [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :------------- | :--------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--index-name` | `-i` | Name of the index to upsert into (required) | | `--body` | | Request body JSON or JSONL (inline JSON, `./path.json[l]`, or `-` for stdin) (required) | | `--namespace` | | Namespace to upsert into | | `--batch-size` | `-b` | Number of records per batch (default: `96`, max: `96`) | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Examples** ```bash theme={null} # Upsert from a JSON file pc index record upsert --index-name my-index --body ./records.json # Upsert from a JSONL file into a specific namespace pc index record upsert --index-name my-index --namespace my-namespace --body ./records.jsonl # Upsert from stdin cat records.jsonl | pc index record upsert --index-name my-index --namespace my-namespace --body - ``` ### Collections **Description** Creates a static copy of a pod-based index as a collection.

The URI must begin with the scheme of a supported provider (for example, `s3://`). For private buckets, configure a storage integration in the Pinecone console and pass the integration ID with `--integration-id`. Use `--error-mode` to control behavior when records fail: `continue` skips failing records and keeps going; `abort` stops the import on first error. Defaults to `continue`. **Usage** ```bash theme={null} pc index import start [flags] ``` **Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :----------------- | :--------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--index-name` | `-i` | Name of the index to import into (required) | | `--uri` | `-u` | URI of the data to import, for example `s3://bucket/path/` (required) | | `--integration-id` | | Storage integration ID for private buckets | | `--error-mode` | | How to handle record errors: `continue` (default) or `abort` | | `--json` | `-j` | Output in JSON format | **Global Flags** | Long flag | Short flag | Description | | :---------- | :--------- | :---------------------------------- | | `--help` | `-h` | Show help information | | `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress output | | `--timeout` | | Timeout (default 60s, 0 to disable) | **Examples** ```bash theme={null} # Start an import from a public S3 bucket pc index import start --index-name my-index --uri s3://my-bucket/data/ # Start an import from a private bucket using a storage integration pc index import start --index-name my-index --uri s3://my-bucket/data/ --integration-id intg-123 # Abort on the first error instead of continuing pc index import start --index-name my-index --uri s3://my-bucket/data/ --error-mode abort # JSON output pc index import start --index-name my-index --uri s3://my-bucket/data/ -j ``` ```text CLI theme={null} Import imp-abc123 started.
