Connecting to Qdrant on Layerbase Cloud

Qdrant runs as an HTTPS vector database endpoint for similarity search and retrieval workflows.

Best for: Embeddings, semantic search, recommendations, RAG indexes, and vector similarity workloads.

1

Open your database in the dashboard

Go to /cloud, click the database you just created, and the connection panel shows the host, port, username, password, and a ready-to-paste connection string for the engine.

Send the dashboard token as an API key header in your Qdrant client.

2

TLS is required, on by default

Use the https:// endpoint from Quick Connect.

Qdrant HTTP API over HTTPS

3

Use any standard client

Qdrant works with the normal client family for that engine. Start with the dashboard snippet, then move the same URL and credentials into your app environment.

If your client has separate direct, pooled, TLS, or HTTP options, prefer the exact variant shown in Quick Connect.

bashQdrant
curl -H "api-key: YOUR_TOKEN" "https://your-host.cloud.layerbase.dev/collections"

Qdrant notes

  • Use the official Qdrant SDK when your app needs collection and vector helpers.
  • Keep the API key server-side for production applications.
