This crap changes all the time and it’s super annoying.

But as of May 30, 2024, this code works in Python:

import os from pinecone import Pinecone, ServerlessSpec

Initialize Pinecone with your API key

Replace ‘put-your-pinecone-api-key-here’ with your actual Pinecone API key.

pc = Pinecone(api_key=‘put-your-pinecone-api-key-here’)

Define the Pinecone index name

index_name = ‘enter-your-pinecone-index-name’

Check if the index exists and create it if it does not exist.

Note: The cloud and region might be different for your setup.

if index_name not in pc.list_indexes().names(): pc.create_index( name=index_name, dimension=1536, # The number of dimensions for your index. metric=‘euclidean’, # The metric used for similarity search (e.g., ‘euclidean’, ‘cosine’). spec=ServerlessSpec( cloud=‘aws’, # The cloud provider, e.g., ‘aws’. region=‘us-east-1’ # The region for your index, e.g., ‘us-east-1’. ) )

Access the Pinecone index

index = pc.Index(index_name)

Delete all vectors in the specified namespace

Replace ‘put-your-name-space-in-here’ with the name of the namespace you want to delete.

index.delete(delete_all=True, namespace=‘put-your-name-space-in-here’)

Make sure you have Pinecone installed in your Python library:

pip install —upgrade pinecone-client
