Use the Supabase connector to import data from a Supabase project into an Algolia index. After selecting a table or view, the connector synchronizes your index with updates.

​
Before you begin

You need:

​
Select a Supabase data source

  1. In the Algolia dashboard, select the Supabase connector and click Connect.
  2. Enter your Supabase credentials:
    • Host
    • Transaction pooler port
    • Session pooler port
    • Database name
    • Username
    • Password
  3. Give your Supabase source a name.
  4. Click Create source.
  5. After the connection is verified, choose a destination index and set up a synchronization task.

​
Select an Algolia destination index

Your Supabase data will be stored in an Algolia index.
  1. Select an existing index or create a new one.
  2. Provide the secured Algolia API key for that index.
  3. Name the destination for easy identification.
  4. Click Create destination.

​
Create a synchronization task

Tasks define how and when Algolia fetches data from your Supabase source.
  1. Choose how to trigger the sync:
    • On demand: run the task from the Algolia dashboard or API.
    • Scheduled: choose a predefined schedule or enter a cron expression.
  2. Choose how you want to update your Algolia index:
    • Full reindexing: replaces all records in the index.
    • Full record updates: replaces matching records based on the primary database key.
    • Partial record updates: updates specified attributes in matching records.
  3. Choose the table or view to import and select which columns to include.
  4. Choose a primary key from your Supabase table or view to use as the Algolia objectID.
  5. Click Create task.
Create a separate task for each table or view. Combining several sources in one task merges them into a single index which can cause data conflicts.
