Unable to connect to Weaviate

Question

I am attempting to use weaviate-client in my nodejs application and followed Weaviate's documentation.

Unfortunately, their sample code doesn't seem to work for me at all.

import weaviate from 'weaviate-client'

const search = async () => {
    const client = await weaviate.connectToWCS(
        MY_WEAVIATE_URL, { 
          authCredentials: new weaviate.ApiKey(MY_API_KEY), 
          headers: {
            'X-OpenAI-Api-Key': MY_OPENAI_API_KEY,
          }
        } 
      )

    console.log(client)
}

search()

The error that I've been receiving is TypeError: weaviate.connectToWCS is not a function. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

We've recently renamed Weaviate Cloud Services (WCS) to Weaviate Cloud (WCD), as a result, this changed the connection function to weaviate.connectToWCD.

By mistake, we removed weaviate.connectToWCS, instead of deprecating.

Please use the following:

import weaviate from 'weaviate-client'

const search = async () => {
    const client = await weaviate.connectToWCD(
        MY_WEAVIATE_URL, { 
          authCredentials: new weaviate.ApiKey(MY_API_KEY), 
          headers: {
            'X-OpenAI-Api-Key': MY_OPENAI_API_KEY,
          }
        } 
      )

    console.log(client)
}
