Algolia is a hosted search and discovery platform that delivers fast, typo-tolerant search, browse, recommendations and personalization through a suite of REST APIs and edge-distributed infrastructure. It powers search experiences for ecommerce, media, SaaS and content sites, pairing a synchronous indexing and query control plane with event-driven Insights, Recommend, A/B Testing and Personalization products. Algolia generates every first-party API client and its reference documentation from 15 public OpenAPI documents totalling 342 operations, and has extended the platform into the agent layer with two managed MCP servers, an Agent Studio runtime and 18 self-published Agent Skills.
Algolia publishes 16 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Search API, Insights API, Recommend API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Search, Discovery, Recommendations, Personalization, and Analytics.
The Algolia catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Algolia’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, pricing, and 46 more developer resources.
The questions people put to an LLM, and the jobs they hand an agent, that Algolia's APIs answer — each one linked to the operation that does it.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Show this score on your site.
It updates itself when the score changes. Paste this where you link to your API docs:

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Typed Event Surface+6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Pagination+5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document+5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
