We know many of you have been building great implementations using the Algolia API. We want to see more of them, and this is why we decided to kick off a Coding Contest!
Participating is simple:
The deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, May 5th, 11:59PM PST.
Exciting news! For each category, the winner will receive one of the following:
On top of that, each participant is entitled to a 1-month coupon to use Algolia for free. Please send us an email to codingcontest[at]algolia.com with “Coupon request” in the subject line.
Build a search interface using Algolia. It can be for mobile or the web. You can integrate it into an existing website or app, or create a simple, standalone interface for the contest.
If you are not familiar with Algolia, we suggest you follow our Quick Start guide, which will help you (a) send data to Algolia and (b) build a UI. You can also use our Interactive Tutorial for the same purposes.
Additionally, feel free to use any of Algolia’s features: facets, solutions, paging, menus, and so on. Check out our solutions page in the docs for tutorials, and check our inspiration library to see what you can build.
We will not accept projects that display violence, pornography, abuse, or any kind of hate speech, as stated in the Coding Contest Official Rules.
To evaluate the submitted projects, we take into account:
Important note: you can only submit one project. Choose from one of the following three categories:
Build a project using both the Strapi and Algolia APIs. You can also include any other APIs or tool you’d like for this project. It’s your time to get creative!
If you’re not familiar with Strapi, we offer you a broader option: build a project using the Algolia API, plus any other APIs or tools you’d like for this project.
Again, be creative! Please refer to our documentation if you have any questions.
Build an Algolia implementation using a pre-made Codesandbox.
See the rules here.
Yes. Algolia offers a forever free plan to all new users. We are also offering a 1-month coupon for each participant to thank you for joining the contest. If you’re interested in having the coupon, please send us an additional email to codingcontest(at)algolia.com with “Coupon request” in the subject line.
Yes. Strapi offers a Community plan that is free and available to everyone.
No. You can only participate in one of the 3 categories, as stated in the Coding Contest Official Rules.
The Algolia jury will deliberate during 2 weeks after the last day of submissions.
You will receive an email from the Algolia team. They will contact you about the prize and how to organize the shipping.
Please send them to codingcontest[at]algolia.com_
No. The goal of this contest is for you to build something new. We want to make the contest fair to every participant who has until May 5th to build their project. However, you can definitely get inspired by one of your previous projects using Algolia!
You can submit a private repository, but we will ask you to give access to the jury members when you submit on the codingcontest[at]algolia.com email adress.
The Official Rules of the Coding Contest are available here. By participating to the Coding Contest, you agree with the Algolia Coding Contest Official Rules.
