Pinecone

Overview

Use Pinecone credentials to make authenticated API calls through Alter Vault without exposing API keys in code.

Property	Value
Provider ID	pinecone
Category	AI
Credential Type	API Key

Step 1: Get Credentials

Log in to the Pinecone Console

Log in to the Pinecone Console at app.pinecone.io.

Navigate to API Keys

Select a project and navigate to API Keys.

Create a key

Click Create API Key and name it.

Copy the key

Copy the key — it is only shown once.

Warning

Never share credentials publicly. Store them securely and only enter them in the Alter Vault Developer Portal.

Step 2: Add to Alter Vault

Open the Developer Portal

Go to portal.alterauth.com and navigate to the application.

Add Pinecone

Go to Managed Secrets > Add Provider > Pinecone.

Enter credentials

Paste your API Key into the credential field.

Save

Click Save. You’ll receive a grant_id to use with the SDK.

Using in Code

response = await alter_app.request(
    HttpMethod.POST,
    "https://YOUR-INDEX-HOST.pinecone.io/query",
    grant_id="YOUR_GRANT_ID",
    json={"vector": [0.05, 0.61, 0.76, 0.74], "topK": 5, "includeMetadata": True},
)

Notes

• The key is injected via the Api-Key header.
• The same API key authorizes both the control plane (api.pinecone.io) and the index data plane — copy the index’s host from the Pinecone Console and query it directly.
