Search engine
Keep Algolia. Add a discovery layer in front.
Your Algolia index already holds ranking, merchandising, and catalog work. SuggestAPI routes storefront and agent requests to that index and returns a consistent, agent-ready result shape.

Algolia stays the engine
Indexes, records, ranking, and Algolia merchandising remain yours. SuggestAPI does not migrate you off Algolia.
Discovery layer
SuggestAPI is the adapter
One API for autocomplete, full search, compare, and recommend. SuggestAPI rewrites the shopping job, calls Algolia, and normalizes the response for people and agents.
SuggestAPI is an independent layer in front of Algolia. It is not an Algolia product or a certified marketplace listing unless we say so separately.
What stays
Don’t rebuild the stack you already trust.
The index
Records, facets, and ranking configuration stay in Algolia.
Credentials
Algolia keys stay on the server. Clients call SuggestAPI.
Merchandising
Rules you earned in Algolia still apply underneath.
What SuggestAPI adds
Discovery without a second catalog.
Query understanding
Shopping jobs and follow-ups, not only prefix strings.
Agent-ready results
Structured product context for compare, recommend, and handoff.
Swap later if you need to
The client stays on SuggestAPI if the backend changes.
Start with the stack you have
Add discovery. Keep Algolia.
Sign up, connect the catalog or search you already run, and put SuggestAPI in front.
