Core API methods

These methods are the main operations in Algolia’s Search API clients. They let you index data, run searches, and manage your indices. These low-level methods give you direct access to the Algolia Search API. Examples of core methods include: Core API methods reflect the underlying HTTP API operations and are available in all Algolia Search API clients.

Helper methods

Helper methods are higher-level abstractions built on top of core API methods. They make common tasks—like reindexing or browsing all objects—easier to perform. Helper methods often combine several API requests and add logic that simplifies your workflow. Use them to streamline your code and reduce boilerplate.
Not all helper methods are available for all Search API clients and their implementation might differ.
Algolia’s Search API clients include these helpers.
