Hi

I’m Facing the issue with the Langchain-Pinecone during Embeddings

  1. Have manually uninstalled the v2 dependency
  2. Followed the Langchain-pinecone documentation. But still i get the error
Traceback (most recent call last):

Process finished with exit code 1

raise PineconeConfigurationError(“You haven’t specified an Api-Key.”)
pinecone.exceptions.exceptions.PineconeConfigurationError: You haven’t specified an Api-Key.

This is the Error and i tried to change my dependency all my previous version to new but still its not working.

Kindly help me with this

Hi @krroopeshbharatwaj1 and thanks for your question!

Please have a look at our official guide for using LangChain with Pinecone.

Most of the time when users report this issue, they need to create an environment variable named PINECONE_API_KEY that contains their API key from https://app.pinecone.io.

The LangChain library wraps Pinecone’s client, so is expecting that env var by default.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Zack
