Answer 1

Please check your @pinecone-database/pinecone library version, because from v1.1.0 they removed PineconeClient.

following is the updated way of creating pincone client,

import { Pinecone } from '@pinecone-database/pinecone';

const pc = new Pinecone({
  apiKey: 'your_api_key',
});

You can refer following link for the same:
