C# - Beta release

Preview

The C# client is available as a beta release.

This means that the library is still under development and may change in future releases, including potential breaking changes. We do not recommend using this client library in production environments at this time.

C# client (SDK)

The latest C# client is version v0.0.1-beta.4.

weaviate/csharp-client

This page broadly covers the Weaviate C# (beta release). For usage information not specific to the C# client, such as code examples, see the relevant pages in the How-to manuals & Guides.

Installation​

<PackageReference Include="Weaviate.Client" Version="0.0.1-beta.4" />
Requirements: Weaviate version compatibility & gRPC

Weaviate version compatibility​

The C# client requires Weaviate 1.33.0 or higher. Generally, we encourage you to use the latest version of the C# client and the Weaviate Database.

gRPC​

The C# client uses remote procedure calls (RPCs) under-the-hood. Accordingly, a port for gRPC must be open to your Weaviate server.

docker-compose.yml example

If you are running Weaviate with Docker, you can map the default port (50051) by adding the following to your docker-compose.yml file:

ports:
  - 8080:8080
  - 50051:50051

Get started​

Prerequisites

If you haven't yet, we recommend going through the Quickstart tutorial first to get the most out of this section.

Get started with Weaviate using this C# example. The code walks you through these key steps:

  1. Connect to Weaviate: Establish a connection to a local (or Cloud) Weaviate instance.
  2. Create a collection: Define the data schema for a Question collection, using an Ollama model to vectorize the data.
  3. Import data: Fetch sample Jeopardy questions and use Weaviate's batch import for efficient ingestion and automatic vector embedding generation.
  4. Search/query the database: Execute a vector search to find questions semantically similar to the query biology.

For more code examples, check out the How-to manuals & Guides section.

Asynchronous usage​
