Query vectors using OSS SDK for Python 2.0
This topic describes how to use tOSS SDK for Python 2.0 to call the QueryVectors operation and perform a similarity search in a vector index.
Permissions
By default, an Alibaba Cloud account has full permissions, whereas a RAM user or RAM role has none. The Alibaba Cloud account owner or an administrator must grant permissions by using a RAM policy or a bucket policy.
