> 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

<Card title="Algolia Dashboard — API Keys" href="https://dashboard.algolia.com/account/api-keys/all" icon="search" arrow>
  [https://dashboard.algolia.com/account/api-keys/all](https://dashboard.algolia.com/account/api-keys/all)
</Card>

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Paste the Application ID">
    Visible on every Algolia dashboard page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the Admin API Key">
    Or a custom key with the right ACLs. Avoid the public Search-Only key for write operations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="(Optional) Pin a default index">
    Set the **Default Index** if your agent always operates against one index.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>
