Choosing a search plugin

The spider can work with a Search Plugin to index scraped page records in a 3rd party search engine. Currently only Algolia is supported.

Using the Algolia search plugin​

To use the Algolia search plugin, you only need to pass your Algolia details (app ID, api key and index name) to the spider (see next section - running the spider)

{
  "searchEngineOpts": {
        "algolia": {
            "apiKey": "<your algolia API key>",
            "appId": "<your algolia app ID>",
            "indexName": "<your algolia index name>"
        }
    }
}
