If you have been using AlgoliaSearch for Django versions 1, 2, or 3, upgrade to version 4 by running the following command:
pip install -U algoliasearch_django>=4.0
Version 4 includes these breaking changes:
  • Increased required minimal versions to Python 3.8 and Django 4
  • Upgrade the Python API client to version 4 If you used earlier versions of the Django integration and directly used the Python API client, you need to upgrade your code. If you didnโ€™t interact with the Python API client directly in your code, you donโ€™t have to do anything.
  • Remove deprecated method clear_index Replace any call to clear_index with clear_objects
    Python
    from algoliasearch_django import clear_index 
    from algoliasearch_django import clear_objects 
    
    clear_index(model) 
    clear_objects(model)
