## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Vector Database Migration Tool

Migrate embeddings between Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, and Qdrant with metadata preservation and validation. No free migration tools exist in the market.

### Features

- **Multi-Database Support**: Migrate between Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, and Qdrant
- **Metadata Preservation**: Keep all vector metadata intact during migration
- **Batch Processing**: Efficient batch processing for large-scale migrations
- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress updates and checkpoint recovery
- **Validation**: Post-migration validation with similarity checks
- **Export/Import**: Export vectors to multiple formats (JSON, NDJSON, Parquet, NumPy)

### Operations

#### migrate
Migrate vectors from one database to another with configurable options.

#### validate
Validate migration success with similarity checks and metadata verification.

#### export
Export vectors from any supported database to various formats.

#### import
Import vectors into any supported database from exported data.

### Target Use Cases

- **Database Migration**: Switch vector databases without data loss
- **Backup & Recovery**: Export vectors for backup and disaster recovery
- **Multi-Region Deployment**: Sync vectors across regions
- **Database Consolidation**: Merge multiple vector databases

### Pricing

- **Free forever** on Apify (pay only for platform usage)
- **Market gap**: No free migration tools exist (only paid enterprise solutions)
- **Target MAU**: 700 users

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "operation": "migrate",
    "exportFormat": "json",
    "progressTracking": true
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("fiery_dream/vector-db-migrator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
