How to import and export All algolia settings using scripts - meteor

Question

I have an issue with algolia settings. I can not import or export settings from aloglia. There is no settings or tools to do this.
I want to do it using my own script. How is it possible? Is there any alternative to do this or i have to create a script for that?

Answer 1

Check out the Algolia CLI tool!
Installation: npm install -g #algolia/cli
Docs: https://github.com/algolia/algolia-cli
While you can still certainly write your own scripts to import/export settings or records, with the Algolia CLI tool you can also do it at the command line like so:
$ algolia getsettings -a <algoliaAppId> -k <algoliaApiKey> -n <algoliaIndexName>
and
$ algolia setsettings -a <algoliaAppId> -k <algoliaApiKey> -n <algoliaIndexName> -s <sourceFilepath> -p <setSettingsParams>

Answer 2

The best way to export/import index settings is to use Algolia's REST API clients and the {get,set}_settings methods.
Building a small script wrapping those 2 commands is pretty straight forward.

Answer 3

Sepehr's answer is really helpful in pointing out how to achieve it with Algolia CLI. A time saver!
Here is the exact command you need to execute in your command line in order to:
Export index:
algolia export -a <algoliaAppId> -k <algoliaApiKey> -n <algoliaIndexName> -o <outputPath> -p <algoliaParams>
Example: algolia export -a EXAMPLE_APP_ID -k EXAMPLE_API_KEY -n EXAMPLE_INDEX_NAME -o ~/Desktop/example_output_folder/ -p '{"filters":["category:book"]}'
Params -p argument is optional and you can skip it.
Import index:
algolia import -s <sourceFilepath> -a <algoliaAppId> -k <algoliaApiKey> -n <algoliaIndexName> -b <batchSize> -t <transformationFilepath> -m <maxconcurrency> -p <csvToJsonParams>
Example: algolia import -s ~/Desktop/example_source_directory/ -a EXAMPLE_APP_ID -k EXAMPLE_API_KEY -n EXAMPLE_INDEX_NAME -b 5000 -t ~/Desktop/example_transformations.js -m 4 -p '{"delimiter":[":"]}'
