Integration using Python Blocks

Follow these steps to integrate Algolia into your workflow using Python blocks:

1. Create a new pipeline or open an existing pipeline.
2. Add a data loader or data exporter with Template. Under “Databases” category you can find the “Algolia” template.

• Data loader arguments: Args: query_texts (str): Texts to query. index_name (str): Name of the index. Defaults to the name defined in io_config.yaml. column_names (List): columns to fetch. Returns: DataFrame: Data frame loaded.

• Data exporter arguments: Write data into Algolia.

  Args: df (DataFrame): dataframes to write. index_name (str): Name of the index. Defaults to the name defined in io_config.yaml.

3. Add your customized code into the loader, exporter or add extra transformer blocks.
4. Run the block.
