Algolia is an advanced AI search platform.

Connections

Algolia API Key

Algolia API Key

API Keys are necessary for interacting with the Algolia API. API keys are unique to each application you create in Algolia.

To generate an API Key, you should log into Algolia and navigate to your application page. Within the application settings, you can find your API keys.

Algolia provides three types of API keys:

Admin API Key: This key has read and write rights on all indexing and configuration operations.

Search-Only API Key: This key has read-only rights on indexing operations and is recommended for use on the frontend.

Secured API Key: This key is generated from a search key and has additional rights defined at the time of generation.

For your integration, you will need both the Admin API Key and the Search-Only API Key.

For more information about API keys, refer to the Algolia Docs.
