What is the Scala API client?

It’s recommended to use the Kotlin API client, which is better suited for Android development.

The Scala API client is an open source, production-ready API wrapper that abstracts from the complexity of directly interfacing with the Algolia Search API. It handles, for example, network retry strategy, record batching, and reindexing strategy.

Algolia officially supports eleven API clients, each in a specific programming language, and tailored to that language’s unique paradigm and ecosystem.

The API clients are an important part of Algolia’s search ecosystem. Using these clients to interact with Algolia is highly recommended.

You can use the Scala API client to index your data, configure your search, perform search queries, work with analytics, manage clusters, and much more.
