The base URLs for requests to the Personalization API are:

All requests must use HTTPS.

Authentication

To authenticate your API requests, add these headers:

• x-algolia-application-id. Your Algolia application ID.
• x-algolia-api-key. An API key with the necessary permissions to make the request. The required access control list (ACL) to make a request is listed in each endpoint's reference.

You can find your application ID and API key in the Algolia dashboard.

Request format

Request bodies must be JSON objects.

Response status and errors

The Personalization API returns JSON responses. Since JSON doesn't guarantee any specific ordering, don't rely on the order of attributes in the API response.

Successful responses return a 2xx status. Client errors return a 4xx status. Server errors are indicated by a 5xx status. Error responses have a message property with more information.

Rate limiting

When making requests to the Personalization API, you are limited to 40 API calls per second per application.

The following headers provide information about your current limit:

• x-ratelimit-limit: The number of requests allowed every second.
• x-ratelimit-remaining: The number of requests remaining in the current second period.
• x-ratelimit-reset: Unix timestamp of the next time period.

Version

The current version of the Personalization API is version 1, as indicated by the /1/ in each endpoint's URL.
