# Cloudflare Workers KV

Last updated Apr 21, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Create a global, low-latency, key-value data storage.

Available on Free and Paid plans

Workers KV is a data storage that allows you to store and retrieve data globally. With Workers KV, you can build dynamic and performant APIs and websites that support high read volumes with low latency.

For example, you can use Workers KV for:

* Caching API responses.
* Storing user configurations / preferences.
* Storing user authentication details.

Access your Workers KV namespace from Cloudflare Workers using [Workers Bindings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/bindings/) or from your external application using the REST API:

```ts
export default {
	async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise<Response> {
		// write a key-value pair
		await env.KV.put('KEY', 'VALUE');

		// read a key-value pair
		const value = await env.KV.get('KEY');

		// list all key-value pairs
		const allKeys = await env.KV.list();

		// delete a key-value pair
		await env.KV.delete('KEY');

		// return a Workers response
		return new Response(
			JSON.stringify({
				value: value,
				allKeys: allKeys,
			}),
		);
	},

} satisfies ExportedHandler<{ KV: KVNamespace }>;
```

```json
{
	"$schema": "node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json",
	"name": "<ENTER_WORKER_NAME>",
	"main": "src/index.ts",
	"compatibility_date": "2025-02-04",
	"observability": {
		"enabled": true
	},

	"kv_namespaces": [
		{
			"binding": "KV",
			"id": "<YOUR_BINDING_ID>"
		}
	]
}
```

See the full [Workers KV binding API reference](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/api/read-key-value-pairs/).

```plaintext
curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/storage/kv/namespaces/$NAMESPACE_ID/values/$KEY_NAME \
		-X PUT \
		-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
		-H "X-Auth-Email: $CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL" \
		-H "X-Auth-Key: $CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY" \
		-d '{
			"value": "Some Value"
		}'

curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/storage/kv/namespaces/$NAMESPACE_ID/values/$KEY_NAME \
		-H "X-Auth-Email: $CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL" \
		-H "X-Auth-Key: $CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY"
```

```ts
const client = new Cloudflare({
	apiEmail: process.env['CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL'], // This is the default and can be omitted
	apiKey: process.env['CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

const value = await client.kv.namespaces.values.update('<KV_NAMESPACE_ID>', 'KEY', {
	account_id: '<ACCOUNT_ID>',
	value: 'VALUE',
});

const value = await client.kv.namespaces.values.get('<KV_NAMESPACE_ID>', 'KEY', {
	account_id: '<ACCOUNT_ID>',
});

const value = await client.kv.namespaces.values.delete('<KV_NAMESPACE_ID>', 'KEY', {
	account_id: '<ACCOUNT_ID>',
});

// Automatically fetches more pages as needed.
for await (const namespace of client.kv.namespaces.list({ account_id: '<ACCOUNT_ID>' })) {
	console.log(namespace.id);
}
```

See the full Workers KV [REST API and SDK reference](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/kv/) for details on using REST API from external applications, with pre-generated SDK's for external TypeScript, Python, or Go applications.

## Features

[Key-value storage](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/get-started/)

Learn how Workers KV stores and retrieves data.

Use Key-value storage

[Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/install-and-update/)

The Workers command-line interface, Wrangler, allows you to [create](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/general/#init), [test](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/general/#dev), and [deploy](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/pages/#pages-deploy) your Workers projects.

Use Wrangler

[Bindings](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/concepts/kv-bindings/)

Bindings allow your Workers to interact with resources on the Cloudflare developer platform, including [R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/), [Durable Objects](https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/), and [D1](https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/).

Use Bindings

[R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/)

Cloudflare R2 Storage allows developers to store large amounts of unstructured data without the costly egress bandwidth fees associated with typical cloud storage services.

[Durable Objects](https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/)

Cloudflare Durable Objects allows developers to access scalable compute and permanent, consistent storage.

[D1](https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/)

Built on SQLite, D1 is Cloudflare’s first queryable relational database. Create an entire database by importing data or defining your tables and writing your queries within a Worker or through the API.
