What is @algolia/client-analytics?

The @algolia/client-analytics package is designed to interact with Algolia's Analytics API, enabling developers to track and analyze search behavior and performance within their applications. It provides a comprehensive set of features for fetching analytics data, such as popular searches, no-result searches, and search counts, allowing for a deeper understanding of user interaction and search effectiveness.

What are @algolia/client-analytics's main functionalities?

Get Popular Searches

This feature allows you to retrieve the most popular searches made in a specific index. It's useful for understanding what users are most frequently looking for.

{"client.initAnalytics().getTopSearches({ index: 'your_index_name', size: 10 }).then((result) => { console.log(result); });"}

Get Searches with No Results

This functionality enables you to fetch searches that returned no results, which can be critical for identifying gaps in your content or areas where the search experience can be improved.

{"client.initAnalytics().getNoResultsRate({ index: 'your_index_name', size: 10 }).then((result) => { console.log(result); });"}

Get Search Count

This feature provides the total number of searches performed in a given index over a specified period. It's useful for tracking the overall usage and engagement with the search functionality.

{"client.initAnalytics().getSearchCount({ index: 'your_index_name' }).then((result) => { console.log(result); });"}
