Create a vector index (Python SDK V2)

Permissions

By default, Alibaba Cloud accounts have all permissions, whereas Resource Access Management (RAM) users and RAM roles have no permissions. The Alibaba Cloud account or an administrator must grant permissions through a RAM policy or a bucket policy.

Method definition

put_vector_index(request: PutVectorIndexRequest, **kwargs) → PutVectorIndexResult

For the complete definition of the method, see put_vector_index.

Sample code

import argparse
import alibabacloud_oss_v2 as oss
import alibabacloud_oss_v2.vectors as oss_vectors

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="vector put vector index sample")
parser.add_argument('--region', help='The region in which the bucket is located.', required=True)
parser.add_argument('--bucket', help='The name of the bucket.', required=True)
parser.add_argument('--endpoint', help='The domain name that other services can use to access OSS')
parser.add_argument('--index_name', help='The name of the vector index.', required=True)
parser.add_argument('--account_id', help='The account ID.', required=True)

def main():
    args = parser.parse_args()

    # Load credentials from environment variables
    credentials_provider = oss.credentials.EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()

    # Using the SDK's default configuration
    cfg = oss.config.load_default()
    cfg.credentials_provider = credentials_provider
    cfg.region = args.region
    cfg.account_id = args.account_id
    cfg.use_internal_endpoint = True  # To access the service over the public network, set this parameter to False or remove this line.
    if args.endpoint is not None:
        cfg.endpoint = args.endpoint

    vector_client = oss_vectors.Client(cfg)

    result = vector_client.put_vector_index(oss_vectors.models.PutVectorIndexRequest(
        bucket=args.bucket,
        index_name=args.index_name,
        dimension=512,
        data_type='float32',
        distance_metric='euclidean',
        metadata={"nonFilterableMetadataKeys": ["key1", "key2"]}
    ))

    print(f'status code: {result.status_code},'
          f' request id: {result.request_id},'
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
