Use HEXISTS to check whether a field is present in a hash. The reply is 1 when the field exists and 0 when either the field or the key is missing. Since the value is never transferred, this is the cheap way to test for presence, and it is also how you tell a missing field apart from a field whose value happens to be empty, which HGET cannot do.

Syntax

Arguments

Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.
Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

Examples

TCP examples use the TLS REDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
