Opt out of telemetry collection

The Algolia CLI collects usage information by default. You can opt out.

By default, the Algolia CLI collects data about which commands and options you use. To opt out, set the environment variable ALGOLIA_CLI_TELEMETRY to 0.

Collected information

The Algolia CLI collects the following information:

Information	Description
Usage	Which commands and sub-commands you run
System	Operating system and version of the Algolia CLI
Profile	Number of profiles and the active profile

For more details, inspect the source code of the telemetry package.

Opt out of automatic update checks

The Algolia CLI automatically checks if there is a newer version available. To opt out, set the ALGOLIA_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER environment variable to any non-empty value.

The CLI doesn’t check for updates if you run it inside a shell script or inside a continuous integration workflow.
