Wrangler KV commands

The wrangler kv ... commands allow you to manage your Workers KV resources in the Cloudflare network.

Caution

Since version 3.60.0, Wrangler KV commands support the kv ... syntax. If you are using versions of Wrangler below 3.60.0, the command follows the kv:... syntax. Learn more about the deprecation of the kv:... syntax in the kv:... syntax deprecation section.

To update your Wrangler installation, follow the Wrangler Install and Update guide.

  • The key to write to.
• VALUE string optional

kv bulk

Manage multiple key-value pairs within a KV namespace in batches.

put

Writes a JSON file containing an array of key-value pairs to the given namespace.

$ wrangler kv bulk put <FILENAME> [OPTIONS]

Caution

Exactly one of --binding or --namespace-id is required.

• FILENAME string required
  • The JSON file containing an array of key-value pairs to write to the namespace.
• --binding string
  • The binding name of the namespace, as stored in the wrangler.toml file, from which key-pairs are bulked.
• --namespace-id string
  • The ID of the namespace from which key-pairs are bulked.
• --env string optional
  • Perform on a specific environment.
• --preview boolean optional
  • Interact with a preview namespace instead of production.

This command takes a JSON file as an argument with a list of key-value pairs to upload. An example of JSON input:

[
  {
    "key": "test_key",
    "value": "test_value",
    "expiration_ttl": 3600
  }
]

KV namespace values can only store strings. In order to save complex a value, stringify it to JSON:

[
  {
    "key": "test_key",
    "value": "{\"name\": \"test_value\"}",
    "expiration_ttl": 3600
  }
]

Here is the full schema for key-value entries uploaded via the bulk API:

• key string required
  • The key’s name. The name may be 512 bytes maximum. All printable, non-whitespace characters are valid.
• value string required
  • The UTF-8 encoded string to be stored, up to 25 MB in length.
• metadata object optional
  • Any arbitrary object (must serialize to JSON) to a maximum of 1024 bytes.
• expiration number optional
  • The time, measured in number of seconds since the UNIX epoch, at which the key should expire.
• expiration_ttl number optional
  • The number of seconds the document should exist before expiring. Must be at least 60 seconds.
• base64 boolean optional
  • When true, the server will decode the value as base64 before storing it. This is useful for writing values that would otherwise be invalid JSON strings, such as images. Defaults to false.

Note

If both expiration and expiration_ttl are specified for a given key, the API will prefer expiration_ttl.

Writing all the key-value pairs found in the allthethingsupload.json file

$ wrangler kv bulk put --binding=MY_KV allthethingsupload.json
Success!

delete

Deletes all keys read from a JSON file within a given namespace.

• --namespace-id string
  • The ID of the namespace from which keys are removed.
• --env string optional
  • Perform on a specific environment.
• --preview boolean optional
  • Interact with a preview namespace instead of production.

Below are deprecations to Wrangler commands for Workers KV.

kv:... syntax deprecation

Since version 3.60.0, Wrangler supports the kv ... syntax. If you are using versions below 3.60.0, the command follows the kv:... syntax.

The kv:... syntax is deprecated in versions 3.60.0 and beyond and will be removed in a future major version.

For example, commands using the kv ... syntax look as such:

$ wrangler kv namespace list
$ wrangler kv key get <KEY>
$ wrangler kv bulk put <FILENAME>

The same commands using the kv:... syntax look as such:

$ wrangler kv:namespace list
$ wrangler kv:key get <KEY>
$ wrangler kv:bulk put <FILENAME>
