Chroma Python Client is one of 8 APIs that [Chroma](https://apis.io/providers/chroma/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Embeddings, Python, SDK, and Vector Database. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Chroma Python Client is a first-party SDK for interacting with both self-hosted Chroma servers and Chroma Cloud. It provides a simple, developer-friendly interface with a core API of just four functions for managing collections, adding documents, and querying embeddings. The client handles automatic tokenization, embedding, and indexing of documents, making it straightforward to build AI applications that require vector similarity search.
