    console.error(err);
  });

Deleting Records

App Example with AlgoliaSearch APIs

  const express = require('express');
  const algoliasearch = require('algoliasearch');
  
  const app = express();
  const client = algoliasearch('YourApplicationID', 'YourAdminAPIKey');
  const index = client.initIndex('your_index_name');
  
  app.get('/search', (req, res) => {
    const query = req.query.q;
    index.search(query).then(({ hits }) => {
      res.json(hits);
    }).catch(err => {
      res.status(500).send(err);
    });
