• gRPC API - gRPC protobuf definitions

Code examples

To obtain code examples for a specific client and use case, you can send a search request to the library of curated code snippets for the Qdrant client.

curl -X GET "https://snippets.qdrant.tech/search?language=python&query=how+to+upload+points"

Available languages: python, typescript, rust, java, go, csharp

Response example:

## Snippet 1

*qdrant-client* (vlatest) — https://search.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/manage-data/points/

Uploads multiple vector-embedded points to a Qdrant collection using the Python qdrant_client (PointStruct) with id, payload (e.g., color), and a 3D-like vector for similarity search. It supports parallel uploads (parallel=4) and a retry policy (max_retries=3) for robust indexing. The operation is idempotent: re-uploading with the same id overwrites existing points; if ids aren’t provided, Qdrant auto-generates UUIDs.

client.upload_points(
    collection_name="{collection_name}",
    points=[
        models.PointStruct(
            id=1,
            payload={
                "color": "red",
            },
            vector=[0.9, 0.1, 0.1],
        ),
        models.PointStruct(
            id=2,
            payload={
                "color": "green",
            },
            vector=[0.1, 0.9, 0.1],
        ),
    ],
    parallel=4,
    max_retries=3,
)

Default response format is markdown, if snippet output is required in JSON format, you can add &format=json to the query string.
