Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific point from a specified collection in Qdrant, a vector search engine. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed information about a single point by its ID within a collection. For example, you might use this to get metadata or vector data associated with a particular point in a collection for further processing or analysis.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a point by its ID from a collection named 'user_profiles' to analyze user data.
  2. Fetch a specific point from a product catalog collection to display detailed product information.

Properties

Name Meaning
Collection Name Specifies the collection from which to retrieve the point. It can be selected from a list of collections or entered by name.
Point ID The unique identifier of the point to retrieve from the specified collection.
Request Options Additional settings for the request such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • point - The retrieved point data including its ID, vector, and payload from the specified collection.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Qdrant REST API access, including the base URL and authentication token.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid collection names or point IDs resulting in not found errors. Verify that the collection exists and the point ID is correct.
  • SSL certificate validation errors can occur if the server uses a self-signed or invalid certificate; enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' can bypass this but reduces security.
  • Timeout errors may happen if the server is slow or unresponsive; increasing the timeout setting can help.
  • Proxy misconfiguration can prevent successful requests; ensure proxy details are correct if used.
