🚀 Getting started
Add documents
import meilisearch
client = meilisearch.Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey')
index = client.create_index('books') # If your index does not exist
index = client.get_index('books') # If you already created your index
documents = [
{ 'book_id': 123, 'title': 'Pride and Prejudice' },
{ 'book_id': 456, 'title': 'Le Petit Prince' },
{ 'book_id': 1, 'title': 'Alice In Wonderland' },
{ 'book_id': 1344, 'title': 'The Hobbit' },
{ 'book_id': 4, 'title': 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' },
{ 'book_id': 42, 'title': 'The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy' }
]
index.add_documents(documents) # => { "updateId": 0 }

, you can check the status (processed
or failed
) of your documents addition thanks to this method.
