Overview

To authenticate with Algolia, you need two key pieces of information:
  1. Application ID - A unique identifier for your application on Algolia.
  2. Admin API Key - A key that grants full access to all your application’s indices and configurations.
This guide will walk you through finding or creating those credentials within Algolia.

​
Prerequisites:

  • You must have API Keys access to view and manage API keys in Algolia.

​
Instructions:

​
Step 1: Finding Your Application ID

  1. Log in to your Algolia dashboard.
  2. Select your application in the select location in the header
  3. Go to the Settings > Team > API Keys section (located in the left-hand menu).

​
Step 2: Finding Your Admin API Key

  1. After picking your Application ID, scroll down and copy Admin API Key
You can use your Search-Only API Key if you only want to replicate records, but it won’t let index anything to Algolia. You can also choose to generate a dedicated key.

​
Step 3: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have both the Application ID and Admin API Key:
  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Algolia.
  2. Enter the Application ID in the designated field.
  3. Enter the Admin API Key in the API Key field for the key.
  4. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to Algolia.
