Introduction

We recommend keeping the API client up to date, as the SLA applies only if it is up to date.

Semantic Versioning

All our API clients follow Semantic Versioning.

We are browserifyable and webpack friendly:

Bower

From the front end

You can either use a package manager like npm or include a script tag.

script tag using CDNs

Recommended: jsDelivr

jsDelivr is a global CDN delivery for JavaScript libraries.

To include the latest releases and all upcoming features and patches, use this:

1
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/algoliasearch/3/algoliasearch.min.js"></script>

Other CDNS

We recommend using jsDelivr, but algoliasearch is also available at:

• CDNJS
• unpkg: algoliasearch.min.js

jsDelivr is a third-party CDN. We are not able to provide support regarding third party services.

Search only/lite client

We have a lightweight build available that can only do searches. Use it whenever you don’t need to do anything other than search or searchForFacetValues on the frontend.

Find it on jsDelivr:

1
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/algoliasearch/3/algoliasearchLite.min.js"></script>
