💡 Getting Started

First, install Algolia Python API Client via the pip package manager:

pip install --upgrade 'algoliasearch>=4.0,<5.0'

You can now import the Algolia API client in your project and play with it.

from algoliasearch.search.client import SearchClient

_client = SearchClient("YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_API_KEY")

# Add a new record to your Algolia index
response = await _client.save_object(
    index_name="<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
    body={
        "objectID": "id",
        "test": "val",
    },
)

# use the class directly
print(response)

# print the JSON response
print(response.to_json())

# Poll the task status to know when it has been indexed
await client.wait_for_task(index_name="<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>", task_id=response.task_id)

# Fetch search results, with typo tolerance
response = await _client.search(
    search_method_params={
        "requests": [
            {
                "indexName": "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
                "query": "<YOUR_QUERY>",
                "hitsPerPage": 50,
            },
        ],
    },
)

# use the class directly
print(response)

# print the JSON response
print(response.to_json())
