https://api.marqo.ai is Marqo’s control plane endpoint. It can be used for creating, listing and deleting indexes created on Marqo Cloud (see the indexes tab for more information). In order to search, index and perform other operations on your Marqo index, you will need to copy the index endpoint from the console. If you use api.marqo.ai with py-marqo, py-marqo will automatically retrieve the index endpoint so that you can search, index data and perform other operations directly. For production indexes or if you’re not using py-marqo then you will need to copy the index endpoint from the console in order to search, index and perform other operations on your Marqo index. To find your index end point, head to the Marqo Cloud console and navigate to indexes: Notice in the second column, there’s an option for ‘endpoint’. Click on the copy icon next to the endpoint. You can then use to search, index and perform other operations on your Marqo index.

Best Practice

As mentioned above, for production indexes, we recommend using the URL of your Marqo index endpoint, rather than using the “api.marqo.ai” endpoint when utilizing the py-marqo client.
