Postman Response Error

[dnorton94]

Hello All,

To date I have (In the Pinecone playground):

1. Created an index
2. Added data to my index
3. Queried my data

Problem: I cannot query my data in postman. How do I resolve this?

Request URL: https://hello-world-aa80a86.svc.us-west1-gcp.pinecone.io/query ?Content-Type=application/json
Request Method: POST
Request Body
{
“vector”: [0.1, 0.1, 0.1],
“filter”: {“genre”: {“$in”: [“comedy”, “documentary”, “drama”]}},
“topK”: 1,
“includeMetadata”: true
}

I am receiving a 200 status code but in the response body it only shows “1” as shown in the picture

I have already read the docs (Query data)

I suspect the filter is causing it to return 0 results. Does the data you inserted contain those metadata fields? If not, remove the filter section and try again.

[dnorton94]

I tried removing and same thing.

In the Pinecone playground this works:
{
“topK”: 10,
“includeMetadata”: true,
“namespace”: “example_namespace”,
“queries”: [
{
“filter”: {
“colors”: {
“$eq”: “pink”
}
},
“values”: [
0.8122945324233461,
0.07425692029520642,
0.24591363802869184
]
}
]

In Postman it doesn’t

Expected result:
{
“results”: [
{
“matches”: [
{
“id”: “item_9”,
“score”: 0.855569899,
“values”: ,
“sparseValues”: {},
“metadata”: {
“category”: “sports”,
“colors”: [
“pink”,
“green”,
“blue”
],
“time_stamp”: 0.9
}
},
{
“id”: “item_7”,
“score”: 0.720533311,
“values”: ,
“sparseValues”: {},
“metadata”: {
“category”: “music”,
“colors”: [
“purple”,
“green”,
“pink”
],
“time_stamp”: 0.7
}
},
{
“id”: “item_5”,
“score”: 0.471467674,
“values”: ,
“sparseValues”: {},
“metadata”: {
“category”: “sports”,
“colors”: [
“green”,
“pink”,
“red”
],
“time_stamp”: 0.5
}
}
],
“namespace”: “example_namespace”
}
],
“matches”: ,
“namespace”: “”
}

Current Result:
1

Can you compare the curl request example when you click </> in Postman versus the curl command in the Pinecone playground/console? The below example is fake but shows the full request from my own Postman:

curl --location ‘https://squad-2a849c7.svc.us-east-1-aws.pinecone.io/query’
–header ‘Api-Key: fb1b70bc-c702-4248-bb72-1fcd50f03616’
–header ‘Content-Type: application/json’
–data ‘{“queries”:[{“values”:[
-0.174141511,
-0.0848834,
0.0180412345
]}],“topK”:100,“includeMetadata”:false,“includeValues”:false}’

Try comparing that to the curl request inside the Pinecone console to see if there is a difference.

[dnorton94]

Ok will try again.

I’m literally copying what’s in the Pinecone console to postman.

The request is successful but the response body is as I’ve shown

[dnorton94]

Ensure that the URL is correct.

I put the content-type as a parameter, ensure it’s in the header

Hello!

About the Issue

• When the path following Pinecone’s service domain (.svc.us-east1-gcp.pinecone.io) is not valid, an HTTP 200 OK with an empty Body appears to be returned. (This assumes that the Api-Key is correctly set). In this case, even if the value of the POST Body is an invalid string (text/plain), an HTTP 200 is still returned.

• If the URL is correct and there is a problem with the Body, HTTP 400 should be returned.

Solution

• Remove the ?Content-Type=application/json from the Query Parameters.
• Set the Content-Type in the Header. (Even if the Content-Type is set to text/plain, it will work if the Body is in JSON)
