# Cloudflare Workers KV

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:

* [ Workers Binding API ](#tab-panel-4986)
* [ REST API ](#tab-panel-4987)

* [ index.ts ](#tab-panel-4982)
* [ wrangler.jsonc ](#tab-panel-4983)

TypeScript

```

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 }>;


```

```

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

### Wrangler

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

### 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/).

**[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.
