# Connecting to the Qdrant application in Nebius AI Cloud

After [deploying](../../deploy) the Qdrant application, you can connect to it in the [web console](https://console.nebius.com).

## Prerequisites

1. Make sure you are in a [group](/iam/authorization/groups/index) that has at least the `editor` role within your tenant; for example, the default `editors` group. You can check this in the [Administration → IAM](https://console.nebius.com/iam) section of the web console.
2. Download the [Nebius AI Cloud certificate](https://storage.eu-north1.nebius.cloud/msp-certs/ca.pem) and install it according to your operating system instructions.

   You only need the certificate in the following cases:

   * You deployed the application before June 27, 2025, in a project located in the `eu-north1` or `eu-west1` [regions](/overview/regions).
   * You deployed the application before June 30, 2025, in a project located in the `us-central1` region.

   You can find the deployment date on your application's page.

    ```python theme={null}
    from qdrant_client import QdrantClient

    qdrant_client = QdrantClient(
        url="https://<public_endpoint>",
        api_key="<API_key>",
    )
    ```

    For more details, see the [Python Qdrant client](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-client) on GitHub and [Qdrant documentation](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/).

  <Tab title="API">
    Send API requests to `https://<public_endpoint>` and use the `api-key` HTTP header to specify the API key (regular or read-only) that the application creation form generated. For example:

    curl -X GET 'https://<public_endpoint>/collections' \
      --header 'api-key: <API_key>'
    ```
