Link a connector with an API key

Link a key-based provider by supplying its API key directly, instead of running the OAuth flow.

POST /connectors/keys/{provider}

  • provider (path, string, required) — A key-based provider (e.g. parallel)
  • X-Pinecone-Api-Version (header, string) — Date-based contract version, echoed back on the same header. Omit for the default (2026-07); send unstable for the in-development surface. An unrecognized value is rejected with 400 unsupported_api_version.
  • api_key (body, string, required) — The provider's API key. Stored encrypted and never returned.
  • account_label (body, string) — Optional display label
  • 200 — The linked connector
  • 400 — Unknown provider, provider uses OAuth, or empty api_key
