qdrant-api

Low-level Qdrant REST client for Crystal — a per-instance client with namespaced sub-clients and typed responses, generated from Qdrant's OpenAPI spec via openapi-generator.

Looking for an idiomatic, RAG-oriented wrapper? Use qdrant-client instead. This shard is the thin, fully-typed transport layer it builds on.

📖 API documentation

Features

Per-instance Client.new(host:) — no global singleton, multiple clients coexist.
Namespaced sub-clients mirroring the API: client.collections.points.search(...).
Typed responses: every call returns a Response(T) exposing value, status, headers and success?.
Generated from a pinned Qdrant version, committed to the repo. The shard version encodes it as build metadata — X.Y.Z+qdrant.<ver> — so each release states exactly which Qdrant it targets (see the releases).

Installation

Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

dependencies:
  qdrant-api:
    github: jbox-web/qdrant-api.cr

Then run shards install.

Usage

require "qdrant-api"

client = Qdrant::Api::Client.new(host: "localhost:6333", scheme: "http")

# Create a collection (PUT /collections/{name})
client.collections.update(
  "demo",
  Qdrant::Api::CreateCollection.new(
    vectors: Qdrant::Api::VectorsConfig.new(
      Qdrant::Api::VectorParams.new(size: 4, distance: "Dot")
    )
  )
)

# Search (POST /collections/{name}/points/search)
response = client.collections.points.search(
  "demo",
  Qdrant::Api::SearchRequest.new(
    vector: Qdrant::Api::NamedVectorStruct.new([0.2, 0.1, 0.9, 0.7] of Float32),
    limit: 3
  )
)

response.success? # => true
response.status   # => 200
response.value    # => Qdrant::Api::SearchPoints200Response

Authenticated instances pass a token:

client = Qdrant::Api::Client.new(host: "xyz.cloud.qdrant.io", token: ENV["QDRANT_API_KEY"])

Development

The shard is generated — do not edit src/ by hand. Tooling is mise:

mise run build     # regenerate + format against the pinned QDRANT_VERSION
mise run dev:deps  # shards install
mise run dev:spec  # run the spec suite
mise run dev:docs  # generate API docs into ./docs

The generator is the idiomatic Crystal client from openapi-generator#24070. Its jar is built from that branch and is not committed (CI rebuilds it on mise run build); see .github/workflows/regenerate.yml.
