Authentication
Algolia application ID and API key
Plans and access
All Algolia plans, including Build (free). The API key's ACL must include search, browse, listIndexes, settings, addObject and editSettings for the operations used.
Test environment
A free Build application can be used for testing.
Rate limits
Search operations are limited by plan; indexing is limited per application and key. HTTP 429 when exceeded.
Provider events
Algolia does not deliver index webhooks. Nexra event triggers are not yet available; flows run on demand or on a schedule.
Before you build a flow
- Only the primary {appId}.algolia.net host is used; the -dsn read host and algolianet.com fallback hosts are not, so Nexra does not fail over between hosts.
- Writes are asynchronous: a taskID is returned and the change is searchable once the task is published.
- Partial updates accept plain attribute values only; built-in operations such as Increment are rejected because they are not safe to repeat.
- Search pagination is limited by the index's paginationLimitedTo setting (1,000 hits by default); use Browse records for full exports.
- Deletes, clear, batch, index settings updates, API keys and analytics are not exposed.
