# Qdrant

<Note>
  First time creating a connector? [Read this first](/pipelines/connector-first-time-reqs).
</Note>

Send processed data from Unstructured to Qdrant.

The requirements are as follows.

* For the [Unstructured Pipelines](/pipelines/overview) or the [Unstructured API](/api-reference/overview), only [Qdrant Cloud](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/cloud-intro/) is supported.
* For [Unstructured Ingest](/open-source/ingestion/overview), Qdrant Cloud,
  [Qdrant local](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant), and [Qdrant client-server](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/quickstart/) are supported.

The following video shows how to set up Qdrant Cloud:

* For Qdrant local, the path to the local Qdrant installation, for example: `/qdrant/local`

* For Qdrant client-server, the Qdrant server URL, for example: `http://localhost:6333`

* For Qdrant Cloud:

  * A [Qdrant account](https://cloud.qdrant.io/login).

  * A [Qdrant cluster](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/cloud/create-cluster/).

  * The cluster's URL. To get this URL, do the following:

    1. Sign in to your Qdrant Cloud account.
    2. On the sidebar, under **Dashboard**, click **Clusters**.
    3. Click the cluster's name.
    4. Note the value of the **Endpoint** field, for example: `https://<random-guid>.<region-id>.<cloud-provider>.cloud.qdrant.io`.

  * A [Qdrant API key](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/cloud/authentication/#create-api-keys).

* The name of the target [collection](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/concepts/collections) on the Qdrant local installation,
  Qdrant server, or Qdrant Cloud cluster.

  Qdrant requires the target collection to exist before Unstructured can write to the collection.
  The following example code demonstrates the use of the [Python Qdrant Client](https://pypi.org/project/qdrant-client/) to create
  a collection on a Qdrant Cloud cluster, configuring the collection for vectors with 3072 dimensions:

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from qdrant_client import QdrantClient, models
  import os

  client = QdrantClient(
      url=os.getenv("QDRANT_URL"),
      api_key=os.getenv("QDRANT_API_KEY")
  )

  client.create_collection(
      collection_name=os.getenv("QDRANT_COLLECTION"),
      vectors_config=models.VectorParams(
          size=3072,
          distance=models.Distance.COSINE
      )
  )

  collection = client.get_collection(
                   collection_name=os.getenv("QDRANT_COLLECTION")
               )

  print(f"The collection named '{os.getenv("QDRANT_COLLECTION")}' exists and " +
        f"has a status of '{collection.status}'.")
  ```

To create the destination connector:

1. On the sidebar, click **Connectors**.
2. Click **Destinations**.
3. Cick **New** or **Create Connector**.
4. Give the connector some unique **Name**.
5. In the **Provider** area, click **Qdrant**.
6. Click **Continue**.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to fill in the fields as described later on this page.
8. Click **Save and Test**.

Fill in the following fields:

* **Name** (*required*): A unique name for this connector.
* **URL** (*required*): The target Qdrant cluster's URL.
* **Collection Name** (*required*): The name of the target collection on the cluster.
* **Batch Size** The maximum number of records to be transmitted per batch. The default is `50` if not otherwise specified.
* **API Key** (*required*): The Qdrant API key value.
