Meilisearch Python SDK¶

Meilisearch Python SDK provides both an async and sync client for the Meilisearch API.

The focus of this documentation is on the Meilisearch Python SDK API. More information of Meilisearch itself and how to use it can be found at https://www.meilisearch.com/docs.

Which client to chose¶

If the code base you are working with uses asyncio, for example if you are using FastAPI, chose the AsyncClint otherwise chose the Client. The functionality of the two clients is the same, the difference being the AsyncClient provides async methods and uses the AsyncIndex, which also provides async methods, while the Client provides blocking methods and uses the Index, which also provides blocking methods.

Instillation¶

Using a virtual environment is recommended for installing this package. Once the virtual environment is created and activated, install the package with:

pip install meilisearch-python-sdk

Installing with the orjson extra will make JSON serilization/deserilization faster.

pip install meilisearch-python-sdk[orjson]
