Initialize the Insights Client

This feature allows you to initialize the Insights client with your Algolia application ID and API key. This is the first step in using the client to send events.

const { createInsightsClient } = require('@algolia/client-insights');
const insightsClient = createInsightsClient({
  appId: 'YourApplicationID',
  apiKey: 'YourSearchOnlyAPIKey'
});

Send Click Event

This feature allows you to send a click event to the Algolia Insights API. You specify the event type, name, index, user token, and object IDs that were clicked.

insightsClient.sendEvent({
  eventType: 'click',
  eventName: 'Product Clicked',
  index: 'your_index_name',
  userToken: 'user-123',
  objectIDs: ['objectID1']
});

Send Conversion Event

This feature allows you to send a conversion event, such as a purchase, to the Algolia Insights API. Similar to click events, you specify the event type, name, index, user token, and object IDs involved in the conversion.

insightsClient.sendEvent({
  eventType: 'conversion',
  eventName: 'Product Purchased',
  index: 'your_index_name',
  userToken: 'user-123',
  objectIDs: ['objectID1']
});

Send View Event

This feature allows you to send a view event to the Algolia Insights API. This is useful for tracking when a user views a product or item in your application.

insightsClient.sendEvent({
  eventType: 'view',
  eventName: 'Product Viewed',
  index: 'your_index_name',
  userToken: 'user-123',
  objectIDs: ['objectID1']
});
