Searchable collections of points.

Documentation Provider Profile APIs.io OpenAPI GitHub

Qdrant Collections API is one of 9 APIs that Qdrant publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Collection. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

This API exposes 7 operations across 4 paths, and defines 97 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version master.

Requests are made against a single base URL, {protocol}://{hostname}:{port}.

Authentication & Security 2

Qdrant Collections API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. An API key is passed in the header as api-key (api-key). It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (bearerAuth). By default, every request must be authenticated, though some operations may also be called without credentials.

  • api-key — Authorization key, either read-write or read-only

Paths & Operations 7

Across 4 paths, the API surfaces 7 operations — 1 DELETE, 4 GET, 1 PATCH, 1 PUT. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Collections 7

Searchable collections of points.

Schemas 97

The contract defines 97 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are StrictModeConfig (20 properties), StrictModeConfigOutput (20 properties), CreateCollection (13 properties), TextIndexParams (11 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Qdrant Collections API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
