Algolia

Where to find your Algolia Application ID + Admin API Key and connect them to Nora.
Algolia integrations let your agents manage search indices, push records, and query results.

Where to apply for credentials

The page lists:
  • Application ID — public identifier
  • Search-Only API Key — for queries only
  • Admin API Key — full management access (treat as secret)
  • Other API Keys — scoped, custom-permission keys you create
For agent management workflows (creating indices, pushing records), use the Admin Key. For pure read-only agents, create a custom search-only key.

Connect in Nora

1

Paste the Application ID

Visible on every Algolia dashboard page.
2

Paste the Admin API Key

Or a custom key with the right ACLs. Avoid the public Search-Only key for write operations.
3

(Optional) Pin a default index

Set the Default Index if your agent always operates against one index.
4

Connect

Click Connect. Nora calls GET https://<app-id>-dsn.algolia.net/1/keys to list keys in the application — confirms both Application ID and Admin Key are valid.
