🚀 Getting Started
Add Documents
import meilisearch
client = meilisearch.Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey')
# An index is where the documents are stored.
index = client.index('movies')
documents = [
{ 'id': 1, 'title': 'Carol', 'genres': ['Romance', 'Drama'] },
{ 'id': 2, 'title': 'Wonder Woman', 'genres': ['Action', 'Adventure'] },
{ 'id': 3, 'title': 'Life of Pi', 'genres': ['Adventure', 'Drama'] },
{ 'id': 4, 'title': 'Mad Max: Fury Road', 'genres': ['Adventure', 'Science Fiction'] },
{ 'id': 5, 'title': 'Moana', 'genres': ['Fantasy', 'Action']},
{ 'id': 6, 'title': 'Philadelphia', 'genres': ['Drama'] },
]
# If the index 'movies' does not exist, MeiliSearch creates it when you first add the documents.
index.add_documents(documents) # => { "updateId": 0 }
With the updateId
, you can check the status (enqueued
, processing
, processed
or failed
) of your documents addition using the update endpoint.
