API clients

The API client libraries let you use Algolia’s APIs in the programming language of your choice.

Automatic retry

The Search and Recommend APIs have multiple servers to connect to. If a connection attempt fails, the API clients automatically connect to a different server.

Thanks to this, using the API clients is covered by Algolia’s Service Level Agreement.

Helper functions

The API clients include helper functions for some common tasks:

• Saving, updating, and deleting multiple records at once
• Generating secured API keys
• Waiting for indexing tasks
• Replacing all records in an index

Web frameworks

Built on top of the API clients, Algolia offers integrations with these web frameworks:

• Django
• Laravel
• Rails
• Symfony
