Algolia Search and Agility CMS Integration

Integration Overview

Algolia search enables next generation apps with APIs that deliver relevant content in milliseconds. While Agility CMS allows you to manage and publish content with ease, Algolia helps your users find the content they are looking for.

What is Algolia?

Algolia is an AI-powered search and discovery platform allowing you to create cutting-edge customer experiences for your ecommerce website and mobile apps.

Algolia claims a number of advantages for their approach, including speed of response from searching a single site rather than the entire web. Moreover, as Algolia's search can be tailored to the client site, its known structure and its metadata facets, the search offered can be smarter and more site-specific than a generalised web text search. This improves the relevance of search results as searching may take the semantics of site content into account.

Algolia emphasizes their ability to provide instantaneous, multi-platform and typo-tolerant features. Algolia's software is closed source. They do however contribute to the open source community to an extent.

What is Algolia search API?

The Search API is the core of Algolia. Around it, we've built a complete search ecosystem, including eleven API clients, six front-end libraries, platform and framework integrations, a full-featured dashboard, and more. This page documents the Algolia Search REST API.
