Client libraries
Use Algolia’s API clients and libraries to reliably integrate Algolia’s APIs with your apps. For more information, see Algolia’s ecosystem.Base URLs
Base URLs for the Composition API:https://{APPLICATION_ID}.algolia.nethttps://{APPLICATION_ID}-dsn.algolia.net. If your subscription includes a Distributed Search Network, this ensures that requests are sent to servers closest to users.
Retry strategy
To guarantee high availability, implement a retry strategy for all API requests using the URLs of your servers as fallbacks:https://{APPLICATION_ID}-1.algolianet.comhttps://{APPLICATION_ID}-2.algolianet.comhttps://{APPLICATION_ID}-3.algolianet.com
Authentication
Add these headers to authenticate requests:x-algolia-application-id. Your Algolia application ID.x-algolia-api-key. An API key with the necessary permissions to make the request. The required access control list (ACL) to make a request is listed in each endpoint’s reference.
Request format
Depending on the endpoint, request bodies are either JSON objects or arrays of JSON objects.Parameters
Parameters are passed in the request body for POST and PUT requests.Response status and errors

Error responses have a message property with more information.
Version
The current version of the Composition API is version 1, indicated by the/1/ in each endpoint’s URL.
