AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Python client library for Qdrant vector search engine, supporting both local in-memory mode and remote server connections via REST or gRPC APIs.

Low friction installation with seven well-established runtime dependencies (grpcio, httpx, numpy, portalocker, protobuf, pydantic, urllib3). Package is actively maintained with a recent release 9 days ago and consistent commit history.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for proprietary projects.

Usage

pip install qdrant-client

from qdrant_client import QdrantClient

# Local mode
client = QdrantClient(":memory:")

# Or connect to server
client = QdrantClient(host="localhost", port=6333)

Requires Python 3.10 or later; local mode works without external dependencies, but server mode requires a running Qdrant instance.

Verdict: Actively maintained, well-integrated client with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. Apache-2.0 license is permissive. Suitable for production vector search applications with both local development and remote deployment paths.
