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.
