Opt out of telemetry collection

By default, the Algolia CLI collects data about which commands and options you use. To opt out, set the environment variable ALGOLIA_CLI_TELEMETRY to 0.

Which information is collected

The Algolia CLI collects the following information:

Information Description
Usage Which commands and sub-commands you run
System Operating system and version of the Algolia CLI
Profile Number of profiles and the active profile

For more details, inspect the source code of the telemetry package.

Opt out of automatic update checks

The Algolia CLI automatically checks if there is a newer version available. To opt out, set the ALGOLIA_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER environment variable to any non-empty value.

The CLI doesn’t check for updates if you run it inside a shell script or inside a continuous integration workflow.
