# KeyValueStoreCollectionClient<!-- -->

Client for managing the collection of Key-value stores in your account.

Key-value stores are used to store arbitrary data records or files. This client provides methods to list, create, or get key-value stores by name.

* **@example**

  ```
  const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'my-token' });
  const storesClient = client.keyValueStores();

  // List all key-value stores
  const { items } = await storesClient.list();

  // Get or create a key-value store by name
  const store = await storesClient.getOrCreate('my-store');
  ```

* ****getOrCreate**(name, options): Promise<[KeyValueStore](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/api/client/js/reference/interface/KeyValueStore.md)>

- Gets or creates a key-value store with the specified name.

  * **@see**

    <https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/key-value-stores-post>

  ***

  #### Parameters

  * ##### optionalname: string

    Name of the key-value store. If not provided, a default store is used.

  * ##### optionaloptions: [KeyValueStoreCollectionClientGetOrCreateOptions](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/api/client/js/reference/interface/KeyValueStoreCollectionClientGetOrCreateOptions.md)

    Additional options like schema.

  #### Returns Promise<[KeyValueStore](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/api/client/js/reference/interface/KeyValueStore.md)>

  The key-value store object.

### [**](#list)[**](https://github.com/apify/apify-client-js/blob/a8a29bacd7df19373e3300fc059110221bc37e09/src/resource_clients/key_value_store_collection.ts#L59)list

* ****list**(options): Promise<[KeyValueStoreCollectionListResult](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/api/client/js/reference.md#KeyValueStoreCollectionListResult)> & AsyncIterable<[KeyValueStore](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/api/client/js/reference/interface/KeyValueStore.md), any, any>

- Lists all Key-value stores.

  Awaiting the return value (as you would with a Promise) will result in a single API call. The amount of fetched items in a single API call is limited.

  ```
  const paginatedList = await client.list(options);
  ```

  Asynchronous iteration is also supported. This will fetch additional pages if needed until all items are retrieved.

  ```
  for await (const singleItem of client.list(options)) {...}
  ```

  A paginated iterator of Key-value stores.
