🚀 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 }

# MeiliSearch is typo-tolerant:
index.search('harry pottre')

Output:

{
  "hits" => [{
    "book_id" => 4,
    "title" => "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"
