📘Notes

Instead of creating a new instance of this class on your own, import the existing singleton instance as shown in the following example.

Examples

    token=TOKEN,
) 

📘How can I get the cluster endpoint and token?

• Cluster endpoint

You can log into the Zilliz Cloud console and click Clusters in the left navigation pane. In the cluster list, click the name of the target cluster and copy its endpoint in the Connect area.

• Access token

To connect to a Zilliz Cloud cluster, you can use either of the following

• A pair of username and password to access the cluster, joined by a colon (:).
