DashVector:Update documents

Last Updated:Apr 11, 2024

This topic describes how to update documents in a collection by using the HTTP API.

Note
  1. If the ID of a document to be updated does not exist, the update operation is invalid for the document.

  2. If you update only some fields, the rest of the fields are set to null by default.

Prerequisites

Method and URL

PUT https://{Endpoint}/v1/collections/{CollectionName}/docs

Example

Note
  1. You need to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key and YOUR_CLUSTER_ENDPOINT with the endpoint of your cluster in the sample code for the code to run properly.

  2. You need to create a collection named quickstart in advance. For more information, see the "Example" section of the Create a collection topic.

curl -XPUT \
  -H 'dashvector-auth-token: YOUR_API_KEY' \

  }' https://YOUR_CLUSTER_ENDPOINT/v1/collections/quickstart/docs

# example output:
