Usage

Instantiating a client

>>> from swiftype_app_search import Client
>>> host_identifier = 'host-c5s2mj'
>>> api_key = 'private-mu75psc5egt9ppzuycnc2mc3'
>>> client = Client(host_identifier, api_key)

Using with App Search Managed Deploys

The client can be configured to use a managed deploy by adjusting the base_endpoint and use_https parameters. Since managed deploys do not rely on a host_identifier, it can be omitted.

>>> from swiftype_app_search import Client
>>> client = Client(
    api_key='private-mu75psc5egt9ppzuycnc2mc3',
    base_endpoint='localhost:3002/api/as/v1',
    use_https=False
)

      'title': 'The Original Grumpy Cat',
      'body': 'A wonderful video of a magnificent cat.'
    }
>>> client.index_document(engine_name, document)
{'id': 'INscMGmhmX4'}
