Migration note from v5.x to v6.x

In January 2019, we released v6 of our .NET client. If you are using version 5.x of the client, read the migration guide to version 6.x. Version 5.x will no longer be under active development.

💡 Getting Started

To get started, first install the Algolia.Search client.

You can get the last version of the client from NuGet.

If you are using the .NET CLI, you can install the package using the following command:

dotnet add package Algolia.Search --version <The version you want to install>

Or directly in your .csproj file:

<PackageReference Include="Algolia.Search" Version=${versions.csharp} />

You can now import the Algolia API client in your project and play with it.

using Algolia.Search.Clients;
using Algolia.Search.Http;

var client = new SearchClient(new SearchConfig("YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_API_KEY"));

// Add a new record to your Algolia index
var response = await client.SaveObjectAsync(
  "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
  new Dictionary<string, string> { { "objectID", "id" }, { "test", "val" } }
);

// Poll the task status to know when it has been indexed
await client.WaitForTaskAsync("<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>", response.TaskID);

// Fetch search results, with typo tolerance
var response = await client.SearchAsync<Object>(
  new SearchMethodParams
  {
    Requests = new List<SearchQuery>
    {
      new SearchQuery(
        new SearchForHits
        {
          IndexName = "<YOUR_INDEX_NAME>",
          Query = "<YOUR_QUERY>",
          HitsPerPage = 50,
        }
      )
    },
  }
);
