Algolia Search Command Line API Client

Algolia Search is a hosted full-text, numerical, and faceted search engine capable of delivering realtime results from the first keystroke.

Our command line API client is a small wrapper around CURL to make it easier to use the Algolia Search REST API.

Setup

To setup the command line client, follow these steps:

1. Download the client
2. Open algoliasearch-cmd.sh and change API_KEY and APPLICATION_ID with the values you can find in your Algolia account.

APPLICATION_ID="YourApplicationID"
API_KEY="YourAPIKey"

Quick Start

In 30 seconds, this quick start tutorial will show you how to index and search objects.

./algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch contacts contacts.json

You can now search for contacts using firstname, lastname, company, etc. (even with typos): Without any prior configuration, you can start indexing 500 contacts in the contacts index using the following code:

./algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch contacts contacts.json

The contacts.json file is formated using our batch format. The bodyattribute contains the user object that can be any valid JSON.

Settings can be customized to tune the search behavior. For example, you can add a custom sort by number of followers to the already great built-in relevance:

echo '{"customRanking": ["desc(followers)"]}' > settings-contacts-1.json
./algoliasearch-cmd.sh setSettings contacts settings-contacts-1.json

You can also configure the list of attributes you want to index by order of importance (first = most important):

echo '{"attributesToIndex": ["lastname", "firstname", "company"]}' > settings-contacts-2.json
./algoliasearch-cmd.sh setSettings contacts settings-contacts-2.json

Since the engine is designed to suggest results as you type, you'll generally search by prefix. In this case the order of attributes is very important to decide which hit is the best:

./algoliasearch-cmd.sh query contacts "or"
./algoliasearch-cmd.sh query contacts "jim"

Add a new object to the Index

Each entry in an index has a unique identifier called objectID. There are two ways to add an entry to the index:

1. Using automatic objectID assignment. You will be able to access it in the answer.
2. Supplying your own objectID.

You don't need to explicitly create an index, it will be automatically created the first time you add an object. Objects are schema less so you don't need any configuration to start indexing. If you wish to configure things, the settings section provides details about advanced settings.

Example with automatic objectID assignment:

echo '{"firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger"}' > contact.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh addObject contacts contact.json

Example with manual objectID assignment:

echo '{"firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger"}' > contact.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh addObject contacts contact.json myID

Update an existing object in the Index

You have three options when updating an existing object:

1. Replace all its attributes.
2. Replace only some attributes.
3. Apply an operation to some attributes.

Example on how to replace all attributes of an existing object:

echo '{"firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger", "city":"New York"}' > city.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh replace contacts myID ./city.json

You have many ways to update an object's attributes:

1. Set the attribute value
2. Add a string or number element to an array
3. Remove an element from an array
4. Add a string or number element to an array if it doesn't exist
5. Increment an attribute
6. Decrement an attribute

Example to update only the city attribute of an existing object:

echo '{"city": "San Francisco"}' > city.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh partialUpdate contacts myID ./city.json

Example to add a tag:

echo '{"_tags": { "value": "MyTag", "_operation": "Add" }}' > tag.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh partialUpdate contacts myID ./tag.json

Example to remove a tag:

echo '{"_tags": { "value": "MyTag", "_operation": "Remove" }}' > tag.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh partialUpdate contacts myID ./tag.json

Example to add a tag if it doesn't exist:

echo '{"_tags": { "value": "MyTag", "_operation": "AddUnique" }}' > tag.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh partialUpdate contacts myID ./tag.json

Example to increment a numeric value:

echo '{"price": { "value": 42, "_operation": "Increment" }}' > price.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh partialUpdate contacts myID ./price.json

Note: Here we are incrementing the value by 42. To increment just by one, put value:1.

Example to decrement a numeric value:

echo '{"price": { "value": 42, "_operation": "Decrement" }}' > price.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh partialUpdate contacts myID ./price.json

Note: Here we are decrementing the value by 42. To decrement just by one, put value:1.

Search

To perform a search, you only need to specify the index name and query.

The search query allows only to retrieve 1000 hits, if you need to retrieve more than 1000 hits for seo, you can use Backup / Retrieve all index content

algoliasearch-cmd.sh query contacts "jimmie paint" "attributesToRetrieve=firstname,lastname&hitsPerPage=50"

The server response will look like:

{
  "hits": [
    {
      "firstname": "Jimmie",
      "lastname": "Barninger",
      "objectID": "433",
      "_highlightResult": {
        "firstname": {
          "value": "<em>Jimmie</em>",
          "matchLevel": "partial"
        },
        "lastname": {
          "value": "Barninger",
          "matchLevel": "none"
        },
        "company": {
          "value": "California <em>Paint</em> & Wlpaper Str",
          "matchLevel": "partial"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "page": 0,
  "nbHits": 1,
  "nbPages": 1,
  "hitsPerPage": 20,
  "processingTimeMS": 1,
  "query": "jimmie paint",
  "params": "query=jimmie+paint&attributesToRetrieve=firstname,lastname&hitsPerPage=50"
}

You can use the following optional arguments:

In most use-cases, you shouldn&#39;t need to enable this option.</p>

List of 41 supported languages with their associated iso code: Arabic=ar, Armenian=hy, Basque=eu, Bengali=bn, Brazilian=pt-br, Bulgarian=bg, Catalan=ca, Chinese=zh, Czech=cs, Danish=da, Dutch=nl, English=en, Finnish=fi, French=fr, Galician=gl, German=de, Greek=el, Hindi=hi, Hungarian=hu, Indonesian=id, Irish=ga, Italian=it, Japanese=ja, Korean=ko, Kurdish=ku, Latvian=lv, Lithuanian=lt, Marathi=mr, Norwegian=no, Persian (Farsi)=fa, Polish=pl, Portugese=pt, Romanian=ro, Russian=ru, Slovak=sk, Spanish=es, Swedish=sv, Thai=th, Turkish=tr, Ukranian=uk, Urdu=ur

Stop words removal is applied on query words that are not interpreted as a prefix. The behavior depends of the queryType parameter:

• queryType=prefixLast means the last query word is a prefix and it won’t be considered for stop words removal

• queryType=prefixNone means no query word are prefix, stop words removal will be applied on all query words

• queryType=prefixAll means all query terms are prefix, stop words won’t be removed

This parameter is useful when you have a query in natural language like “what is a record?”. In this case, before executing the query, we will remove “what”, “is” and “a” in order to just search for “record”. This removal will remove false positive because of stop words, especially when combined with optional words. For most use cases, it is better to not use this feature as people search by keywords on search engines.

By default the maximum distance is automatically guessed based on the density of the area but you can specify it manually in meters with the aroundRadius parameter. The precision for ranking can be set with aroundPrecision parameter. For example, if you set aroundPrecision=100, the distances will be considered by ranges of 100m, for example all distances 0 and 100m will be considered as identical for the "geo" ranking parameter.

When aroundRadius is not set, the radius is computed automatically using the density of the area, you can retrieve the computed radius in the automaticRadius attribute of the answer, you can also use the minimumAroundRadius query parameter to specify a minimum radius in meters for the automatic computation of aroundRadius.

At indexing, you should specify geoloc of an object with the _geoloc attribute (in the form "_geoloc":{"lat":48.853409, "lng":2.348800} or "_geoloc":[{"lat":48.853409, "lng":2.348800},{"lat":48.547456, "lng":2.972075}] if you have several geo-locations in your record).

You can easily perform range queries via the : operator. This is equivalent to combining a >= and <= operand. For example, numericFilters=price:10 to 1000.

You can also mix OR and AND operators. The OR operator is defined with a parenthesis syntax. For example, (code=1 AND (price:[0-100] OR price:[1000-2000])) translates to encodeURIComponent("code=1,(price:0 to 100,price:1000 to 2000)").

You can also use a string array encoding (for example numericFilters: ["price>100","price<1000"]).

  <td class='client-readme-param-content'>
    <p>Filter the query by a set of tags. You can AND tags by separating them with commas. To OR tags, you must add parentheses. For example, <code>tagFilters=tag1,(tag2,tag3)</code> means <em>tag1 AND (tag2 OR tag3)</em>. You can also use a string array encoding. For example, <code>tagFilters: [&quot;tag1&quot;,[&quot;tag2&quot;,&quot;tag3&quot;]]</code> means <em>tag1 AND (tag2 OR tag3)</em>. Negations are supported via the <code>-</code> operator, prefixing the value. For example: <code>tagFilters=tag1,-tag2</code>.</p>

At indexing, tags should be added in the _tags attribute of objects. For example {"_tags":["tag1","tag2"]}.

If no attribute name is specified, the filter applies to _tags. For example: public OR user_42 will translate to _tags:public OR _tags:user_42.

The list of keywords is:

• OR: create a disjunctive filter between two filters.
• AND: create a conjunctive filter between two filters.
• TO: used to specify a range for a numeric filter.
• NOT: used to negate a filter. The syntax with the - isn’t allowed.

*Note*: To specify a value with spaces or with a value equal to a keyword, it's possible to add quotes.

Warning:

• Like for the other filters (for performance reasons), it's not possible to have FILTER1 OR (FILTER2 AND FILTER3).
• It's not possible to mix different categories of filters inside an OR like: num=3 OR tag1 OR facet:value
• It's not possible to negate a group, it's only possible to negate a filter: NOT(FILTER1 OR (FILTER2) is not allowed.

Get an object

You can easily retrieve an object using its objectID and optionally specify a comma separated list of attributes you want:

algoliasearch-cmd.sh getObject contacts myID

You can also retrieve a set of objects:

echo '{"requests": [{"indexName":"index", "objectID":"myID1"}, {"indexName":"index", "objectID":"myID2"}]}' > ids-to-retrieve.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh getObjects contacts ids-to-retrieve.json

Delete an object

You can delete an object using its objectID:

algoliasearch-cmd.sh delete contacts myID

Index Settings

You can easily retrieve or update settings:

algoliasearch-cmd.sh getSettings contacts

    <p>The list of attributes you want index (i.e. to make searchable).</p>

If set to null, all textual and numerical attributes of your objects are indexed. Make sure you updated this setting to get optimal results.

This parameter has two important uses:

• Limit the attributes to index.
  For example, if you store the URL of a picture, you want to store it and be able to retrieve it, but you probably don't want to search in the URL.
• Control part of the ranking.
  Matches in attributes at the beginning of the list will be considered more important than matches in attributes further down the list. In one attribute, matching text at the beginning of the attribute will be considered more important than text after. You can disable this behavior if you add your attribute inside unordered(AttributeName). For example, attributesToIndex: ["title", "unordered(text)"]. You can decide to have the same priority for two attributes by passing them in the same string using a comma as a separator. For example title and alternative_title have the same priority in this example, which is different than text priority: attributesToIndex:["title,alternative_title", "text"]. To get a full description of how the Ranking works, you can have a look at our Ranking guide.
• numericAttributesToIndex: (array of strings) All numerical attributes are automatically indexed as numerical filters (allowing filtering operations like < and <=). If you don't need filtering on some of your numerical attributes, you can specify this list to speed up the indexing.
  If you only need to filter on a numeric value with the operator '=', you can speed up the indexing by specifying the attribute with equalOnly(AttributeName). The other operators will be disabled.

We have nine available criteria:

• typo: Sort according to number of typos.
• geo: Sort according to decreasing distance when performing a geo location based search.
• words: Sort according to the number of query words matched by decreasing order. This parameter is useful when you use the optionalWords query parameter to have results with the most matched words first.
• proximity: Sort according to the proximity of the query words in hits.
• attribute: Sort according to the order of attributes defined by attributesToIndex.
• exact:
  • If the user query contains one word: sort objects having an attribute that is exactly the query word before others. For example, if you search for the TV show "V", you want to find it with the "V" query and avoid getting all popular TV shows starting by the letter V before it.
  • If the user query contains multiple words: sort according to the number of words that matched exactly (not as a prefix).
• custom: Sort according to a user defined formula set in the customRanking attribute.
• asc(attributeName): Sort according to a numeric attribute using ascending order. attributeName can be the name of any numeric attribute in your records (integer, double or boolean).
• desc(attributeName): Sort according to a numeric attribute using descending order. attributeName can be the name of any numeric attribute in your records (integer, double or boolean).
  The standard order is ["typo", "geo", "words", "proximity", "attribute", "exact", "custom"]. To get a full description of how the Ranking works, you can have a look at our Ranking guide.

    <p>This is an advanced use-case to define a token substitutable by a list of words without having the original token searchable. It is defined by a hash associating placeholders to lists of substitutable words. For example, <code>&quot;placeholders&quot;: { &quot;&lt;streetnumber&gt;&quot;: [&quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, &quot;3&quot;, ..., &quot;9999&quot;]}</code> would allow it to be able to match all street numbers. We use the <code>&lt; &gt;</code> tag syntax to define placeholders in an attribute. For example:</p>

• Push a record with the placeholder: { "name" : "Apple Store", "address" : "<streetnumber> Opera street, Paris" }.
• Configure the placeholder in your index settings: "placeholders": { "<streetnumber>" : ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", ... ], ... }.

List of 41 supported languages with their associated iso code: Arabic=ar, Armenian=hy, Basque=eu, Bengali=bn, Brazilian=pt-br, Bulgarian=bg, Catalan=ca, Chinese=zh, Czech=cs, Danish=da, Dutch=nl, English=en, Finnish=fi, French=fr, Galician=gl, German=de, Greek=el, Hindi=hi, Hungarian=hu, Indonesian=id, Irish=ga, Italian=it, Japanese=ja, Korean=ko, Kurdish=ku, Latvian=lv, Lithuanian=lt, Marathi=mr, Norwegian=no, Persian (Farsi)=fa, Polish=pl, Portugese=pt, Romanian=ro, Russian=ru, Slovak=sk, Spanish=es, Swedish=sv, Thai=th, Turkish=tr, Ukranian=uk, Urdu=ur.

Stop words removal is applied on query words that are not interpreted as a prefix. The behavior depends of the queryType setting:

• queryType=prefixLast means the last query word is a prefix and it won’t be considered for stop words removal

• queryType=prefixNone means no query word are prefix, stop words removal will be applied on all query words

• queryType=prefixAll means all query terms are prefix, stop words won’t be removed

This index setting is useful when you have queries in natural language like “what is a record?”. In this case, before executing the query, we will remove “what”, “is” and “a” in order to just search for “record”. This removal will remove false positive because of stop words. For most use cases, it is better to not use this feature as people search by keywords on search engines.

List indices

You can list all your indices along with their associated information (number of entries, disk size, etc.) with the indexes method:

algoliasearch-cmd.sh indexes

Delete an index

You can delete an index using its name:

algoliasearch-cmd.sh deleteIndex contacts

Clear an index

You can delete the index contents without removing settings and index specific API keys by using the clearIndex command:

algoliasearch-cmd.sh clearIndex contacts

Wait indexing

All write operations in Algolia are asynchronous by design.

It means that when you add or update an object to your index, our servers will reply to your request with a taskID as soon as they understood the write operation.

The actual insert and indexing will be done after replying to your code.

You can wait for a task to complete using the waitTask method on the taskID returned by a write operation.

For example, to wait for indexing of a new object:

echo '{"firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger"}' > contact.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh addObject contacts contact.json
# grab the taskID
while algoliasearch-cmd.sh task contacts taskID | grep -q notPublished; do sleep 1; done

If you want to ensure multiple objects have been indexed, you only need to check the biggest taskID.

Batch writes

You may want to perform multiple operations with one API call to reduce latency. We expose four methods to perform batch operations:

• addObject: Add an array of objects using automatic objectID assignment.
• saveObject: Add or update an array of objects that contains an objectID attribute.
• deleteObject: Delete an array of objectIDs.
• partialUpdate: Partially update an array of objects that contain an objectID attribute (only specified attributes will be updated).

Example using automatic objectID assignment:

echo '{ "requests":[{"action": "addObject", "body": { "firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger"} }, {"action": "addObject", "body": { "firstname": "Warren", "lastname": "Speach"} } ] }' > batch.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch contacts batch.json

Example with user defined objectID (add or update):

echo '{ "requests":[{"action": "saveObject", "body": { "firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger"}, "objectID": "myID1" }, {"action": "saveObject", "body": { "firstname": "Warren", "lastname": "Speach" }, "objectID": "myID2" } ] }' > batch.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch contacts batch.json

Example that deletes a set of records:

echo '{ "requests":[{"action": "deleteObject", "body": { "objectID": "myID1" }, {"action": "deleteObject", "body": { "objectID": "myID2" } ] }' > batch.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch contacts batch.json

Example that updates only the firstname attribute:

echo '{ "requests":[{"action": "partialUpdateObject", "body": { "firstname": "Jimmie" }, "objectID": "myID1" }, {"action": "partialUpdateObject", "body": { "firstname": "Warren" }, "objectID": "myID2" } ] }' > batch.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch contacts batch.json

If you have one index per user, you may want to perform a batch operations across severals indexes. We expose a method to perform this type of batch:

echo '{ "requests":[{"action": "addObject", "indexName": "index1", "body": { "firstname": "Jimmie", "lastname": "Barninger"} }, {"action": "addObject", "indexName": "index2", "body": { "firstname": "Warren", "lastname": "Speach"} } ] }' > batch.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh batch '*' batch.json

The attribute action can have these values:

• addObject
• updateObject
• partialUpdateObject
• partialUpdateObjectNoCreate
• deleteObject

Copy / Move an index

You can easily copy or rename an existing index using the copy and move commands. Note: Move and copy commands overwrite the destination index.

# Rename MyIndex in MyIndexNewName
algoliasearch-cmd.sh move MyIndex MyIndexNewName
# Copy MyIndex in MyIndexCopy
algoliasearch-cmd.sh copy MyIndex MyIndexCopy

The move command is particularly useful if you want to update a big index atomically from one version to another. For example, if you recreate your index MyIndex each night from a database by batch, you only need to:

1. Import your database into a new index using batches. Let's call this new index MyNewIndex.
2. Rename MyNewIndex to MyIndex using the move command. This will automatically override the old index and new queries will be served on the new one.

# Rename MyNewIndex in MyIndex (and overwrite it)
algoliasearch-cmd.sh move MyNewIndex MyIndex

Backup / Export an index

The search method cannot return more than 1,000 results. If you need to retrieve all the content of your index (for backup, SEO purposes or for running a script on it), you should use the browse method instead. This method lets you retrieve objects beyond the 1,000 limit.

This method is optimized for speed. To make it fast, distinct, typo-tolerance, word proximity, geo distance and number of matched words are disabled. Results are still returned ranked by attributes and custom ranking.

It will return a cursor alongside your data, that you can then use to retrieve the next chunk of your records.

You can specify custom parameters (like page or hitsPerPage) on your first browse call, and these parameters will then be included in the cursor. Note that it is not possible to access records beyond the 1,000th on the first call.

Example:

# Get first page
algoliasearch-cmd.sh browse MyIndex
# Get second page
algoliasearch-cmd.sh browse page=1

API Keys

The admin API key provides full control of all your indices. The admin API key should always be kept secure; do NOT use it from outside your back-end.

You can also generate user API keys to control security. These API keys can be restricted to a set of operations or/and restricted to a given index.

List API keys

To list existing keys, you can use:

# Lists global API Keys
algoliasearch-cmd.sh getACL
# Lists API Keys that can access only to this index
algoliasearch-cmd.sh getIndexACL

Each key is defined by a set of permissions that specify the authorized actions. The different permissions are:

• search: Allowed to search.
• browse: Allowed to retrieve all index contents via the browse API.
• addObject: Allowed to add/update an object in the index.
• deleteObject: Allowed to delete an existing object.
• deleteIndex: Allowed to delete index content.
• settings: allows to get index settings.
• editSettings: Allowed to change index settings.
• analytics: Allowed to retrieve analytics through the analytics API.
• listIndexes: Allowed to list all accessible indexes.

Create API keys

To create API keys:

# Creates a new global API key that can only perform search actions
echo '{"acl": ["search"]}' > acl.json
algoliasearch-cmd.sh addACL acl.json
# Creates a new API key that can only perform search action on this index
algoliasearch-cmd.sh addIndexACL indexName acl.json

You can also create an API Key with advanced settings:

MongoDB

You can use the mongodb/crawler tool to export a MongoDB collection and add all items to an Algolia index. This script is based on mongoexport and algoliasearch-client-cmd.

For example, to export the users collection of your myapp database running on the default port and localhost to a users index, use:

./mongodb/crawler -d myapp -c users --applicationID YourApplicationID --apiKey YourAPIKey --index users
