Getting Started - Upstash Documentation

Install

PyPI

pip install upstash-redis

Usage

To be able to use upstash-redis, you need to create a database on Upstash and grab UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN from the console.

# for sync client
from upstash_redis import Redis

redis = Redis(url="UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL", token="UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN")

# for async client
from upstash_redis.asyncio import Redis

redis = Redis(url="UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL", token="UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN")

Or, if you want to automatically load the credentials from the environment:

# for sync use
from upstash_redis import Redis
redis = Redis.from_env()

# for async use
from upstash_redis.asyncio import Redis
redis = Redis.from_env()

If you are in a serverless environment that allows it, it’s recommended to initialise the client outside the request handler to be reused while your function is still hot. Running commands might look like this:

from upstash_redis import Redis

redis = Redis.from_env()

def main():
  redis.set("a", "b")
  print(redis.get("a"))

# or for async context:

from upstash_redis.asyncio import Redis

redis = Redis.from_env()

async def main():
  await redis.set("a", "b")
  print(await redis.get("a"))
