Sign in through the browser (this also lets you sign up if you don't have an account yet):

algolia auth login

If your account has no application, the CLI prompts you to create one. On a machine without a browser (SSH, container), use algolia auth login --no-browser. Check your status anytime with algolia auth status.

algolia application list                                 # list your applications
algolia application select                               # set the current one
algolia application create --name "My App" --region EU   # regions: EU, UK, USC, USE, USW

algolia objects import MOVIES -F movies.ndjson           # import records into the MOVIES index
algolia search MOVIES --query "toy story"                # search them
