Algolia provides a set of API endpoints and libraries to allow you to quickly and easily connect Commercetools to Algolia. There are three distinct steps:
Listen for product additions, updates, or deletions in commercetools and package the payload to be sent to Algolia.
You will need to have your own middleware running to receive the events from commercetools e.g. AWS SNS and Lambda and then you can parse the messages for transmission to Algolia through our indexing endpoints. Commercetools emits events in the form of a subscription.
Create a commercetools subscription to get data
Have your own gateway and message queue running
Process messages and send to Algolia through API clients
Add Algolia to your frontend in order to fetch and display results according to intent.
Leverage our open source frontend UI libraries provided by Aloglia called Instantsearch.
Open source UI components to jumpstart UI development
Available in all flavours of Javascript, and native mobile
If you can’t do frontend, you can use an API client i.e. JS.
Send events to Algolia e.g. add to cart, order placed etc. to optimise results using capabilities like dynamic re-ranking and personalisation.
When sending events, please make sure to add a usertoken as this ensures personalisation can be effective.
