Set up a connection to Pinecone

Pinecone is a vector database that makes it easy to build high-performance vector search applications.

Set up a connection

This video demonstrates creating a Pinecone connection.

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings: 

Setting	Instructions
Name your connection *	Enter a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.
API type *	Choose the API type, either Vector operations or Index operations depending on the Pinecone API type you're connecting to. The settings then become specific to the selected API type.
Environment *	Enter your Pinecone account environment. For example, us-east1-gcp.
Index name project ID * (This setting is visible only when you select the vector operations API type)	Enter your index project ID. For example, if your index name is index-123456.svc.us-west-gcp.pinecone.io, then index-123456 is your project ID. How to retrieve the index project ID
API key *	Enter your Pinecone API key. Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your API key safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text. How to retrieve the API key
