Description: Algolia Search API Client for Python
        ====================================
        
        `Algolia Search <https://www.algolia.com>`__ is a hosted full-text,
        numerical, and faceted search engine capable of delivering realtime
        results from the first keystroke. The **Algolia Search API Client for
        Python** lets you easily use the `Algolia Search REST
        API <https://www.algolia.com/doc/rest-api/search>`__ from your Python
        code.
        
        |Build Status| |PyPI version| |Coverage Status|
        
        We implemented an asynchronous version of the client that may suit your
        need if you are using a framework such as ``aiohttp`` in your backend.
        This version can be found
        `here <https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-python-async>`__.

        Getting Started
        ===============
        
        Install
        -------
        
        Install AlgoliaSearch using pip:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install --upgrade algoliasearch
        
        Quick Start
        -----------
        
        In 30 seconds, this quick start tutorial will show you how to index and
        search objects.
        
        Initialize the client
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        You first need to initialize the client. For that you need your
        **Application ID** and **API Key**. You can find both of them on `your
        Algolia account <https://www.algolia.com/api-keys>`__.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from algoliasearch import algoliasearch
        
            client = algoliasearch.Client("YourApplicationID", 'YourAPIKey')
        
        **Note:** If you use this API Client with Google AppEngine (Thanks
        [@apassant](https://github.com/apassant)), it will use ``urlfetch``
        instead of using the ``request`` module. Please be aware of `urlfetch’s
        limits <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/>`__,
        and note that SSL certificates will not be verified for calls to domains
        other than algolia.net due to the lack of SNI support in ``urlfetch``.
        To run unit tests on the AppEngine stub, please define an
        ``APPENGINE_RUNTIME`` enviroment variable.
        
        Push data
        ~~~~~~~~~
        
        Without any prior configuration, you can start indexing `500
        contacts <https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-python/blob/master/contacts.json>`__
        in the ``contacts`` index using the following code:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            index = client.init_index("contact")
            batch = json.load(open('contacts.json'))
            index.add_objects(batch)
        
        Search
        ~~~~~~
        
        You can now search for contacts using firstname, lastname, company, etc.
        (even with typos):
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # search by firstname
            print index.search("jimmie")
            # search a firstname with typo
            print index.search("jimie")
            # search for a company
            print index.search("california paint")
            # search for a firstname & company
            print index.search("jimmie paint")
        
        Configure
        ~~~~~~~~~
        
        Settings can be customized to tune the search behavior. For example, you
        can add a custom sort by number of followers to the already great
        built-in relevance:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            index.set_settings({"customRanking": ["desc(followers)"]})
        
        You can also configure the list of attributes you want to index by order
        of importance (first = most important):
        
        **Note:** Since the engine is designed to suggest results as you type,
        you’ll generally search by prefix. In this case the order of attributes
        is very important to decide which hit is the best:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            index.set_settings({"searchableAttributes": ["lastname", "firstname", "company",
                                                     "email", "city", "address"]})
        
        Frontend search
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        **Note:** If you are building a web application, you may be more
        interested in using our `JavaScript
        client <https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-client-javascript>`__
        to perform queries.
        
        It brings two benefits: \* Your users get a better response time by not
        going through your servers \* It will offload unnecessary tasks from
        your servers
        
        .. code:: html
        
            <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/algoliasearch/3/algoliasearch.min.js"></script>
            <script>
            var client = algoliasearch('ApplicationID', 'apiKey');
            var index = client.initIndex('indexName');
        
            // perform query "jim"
            index.search('jim', searchCallback);
        
            // the last optional argument can be used to add search parameters
            index.search(
              'jim', {
                hitsPerPage: 5,
                facets: '*',
                maxValuesPerFacet: 10
              },
              searchCallback
            );
        
            function searchCallback(err, content) {
              if (err) {
                console.error(err);
                return;
              }
        
              console.log(content);
            }
            </script>
