The query method is designed to retrieve the most similar vectors from the index, using the specific distance metric defined for your index. This method supports a variety of options to configure the query to your needs.

The dimension of the query vector must match the dimension of your index.

The score returned from query requests is a normalized value between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates the highest similarity and 0 the lowest regardless of the similarity function used.

Arguments

Payload
QueryOptions
required
vector
number[]
required

The query vector

topK
number
required

The total number of the vectors that you want to receive as a query result. The response will be sorted based on the distance metric score, and topK vectors will be returned.

includeMetadata
boolean

Whether to include the metadata of the vectors in the response. Setting this true would be the best practice, since it will make it easier to identify the vectors.

includeVectors
boolean

The metadata of the vector. This is used to make it easier to identify the vector on queries.

Response

QueryResponse
Vector[]
required
id
string | number
required

The ID of the resulting vector.

score
number
required

The score of the vector data, calculated based on the distance metric of your index.

vector
number[]
required

The resulting vector.

metadata
Record<string, unknown>

The metadata of the vector. This is used to make it easier to identify the vector on queries.
