pip install --upgrade 'algoliasearch>=2.0,<3.0'

Then, create objects on your index:

from algoliasearch.search_client import SearchClient

client = SearchClient.create('YourApplicationID', 'YourAPIKey')
index = client.init_index('your_index_name')

index.save_objects([{'objectID': 1, 'name': 'Foo'}])

Finally, you may begin searching a object using the search method:

objects = index.search('Fo')
