JavaScript
aa("init", {
  appId: "YourApplicationID",
  apiKey: "YourSearchOnlyAPIKey",
  useCookie: true,
});
Alternatively, you can provide your own anonymous user token on init.
JavaScript
aa("init", {
  appId: "YourApplicationID",
  apiKey: "YourSearchOnlyAPIKey",

});
When the user logs in, synchronize the user token with the user ID coming from your system with setAuthenticatedUserToken.
