Jina AI Embeddings

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Jina AI Embeddings credential, you'll need to obtain an API key from your Jina AI account. Jina AI provides API keys for programmatic access to their embedding services through the API dashboard.

To obtain a Jina AI API key:

  1. Log in to your Jina AI account at https://jina.ai or create an account if you don't have one.

  2. Navigate to the API dashboard at https://jina.ai/api-dashboard/ or access it from your Jina AI account settings.

  3. In the API dashboard, locate the section for API key management. This is typically found in your account settings or a dedicated API/Developer section.

  4. Click Create API Key or Generate New Key to create a new API key for your application.

  5. Copy the API key immediately after generation, as it may only be displayed once for security purposes. Store it securely, as you'll need it to authenticate API requests.

  6. Note the base URL for the Jina AI API (typically https://api.jina.ai) and the API version you'll be using (typically v1 for the current Jina AI API version).

For detailed information about Jina AI API authentication and API key management, refer to the Jina AI Embeddings Documentation and Jina AI API Dashboard.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

Authentication Settings​

  1. In the Jina AI API Key field, enter the API key that you obtained from your Jina AI API dashboard. This is the secret API key used to authenticate requests to the Jina AI Embeddings API.

    The API key is sensitive information and should be kept secure. If you've lost your API key, you'll need to generate a new one in your Jina AI API dashboard. API keys are used in the Authorization header as a Bearer token for all API requests.

  2. In the Base URL field, enter the base URL for the Jina AI API. The default value is https://api.jina.ai, which is the standard base URL for Jina AI's embedding API. You typically won't need to change this unless you're using a custom endpoint.

  3. In the API Version field, enter the API version you want to use. The default value is v1, which is the current version of the Jina AI Embeddings API. You can specify a different version if your organization uses a specific API version.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
