Meilisearch FastAPI provides FastAPI routes for interacting with Meilisearch.
Using a virtual environmnet is recommended for installing this package. Once the virtual environment is created and activated install the package with:
pip install meilisearch-fastapiRoutes are split in groups so that different dependencies can be injected, and therefore different levels of access, can be given to different groups of routes.
from fastapi import APIRouter, FastAPI
from meilisearch_fastapi.routes import (
document_routes,
index_routes,
meilisearch_routes,
search_routes,
settings_routes,
)
app = FastAPI()
api_router = APIRouter()
api_router.include_router(document_routes.router, prefix="/documents")
api_router.include_router(index_routes.router, prefix="/indexes")
api_router.include_router(meilisearch_routes.router, prefix="/meilisearch")
api_router.include_router(search_routes.router, prefix="/search")
api_router.include_router(settings_routes.router, prefix="/settings")
app.include_router(api_router)from fastapi import APIRouter, FastAPI

from my_app import my_authentication
app = FastAPI()
api_router = APIRouter()
api_router.include_router(document_routes.router, prefix="/documents", dependeincies=[Depends(my_authentication)])
api_router.include_router(index_routes.router, prefix="/indexes", dependeincies=[Depends(my_authentication)])
api_router.include_router(meilisearch_routes.router, prefix="/meilisearch", dependeincies=[Depends(my_authentication)])
api_router.include_router(search_routes.router, prefix="/search", dependeincies=[Depends(my_authentication)])
api_router.include_router(settings_routes.router, prefix="/settings", dependeincies=[Depends(my_authentication)])
app.include_router(api_router)The url for Meilisearch, weather an https address should be used, and API key are read from environment variables. Putting these into a .env file will keep you from having to set these variables each time the terminal is restarted.
MEILI_HTTP_ADDR=localhost:7700 # This is the url for your instance of Meilisearch
MEILI_HTTPS_URL=true # Setting this specifies the address should be https://. If false or not included the address will be http://
MEILI_MASTER_KEY=masterKey # This is the API key for your Meilisearch instanceNow the Meilisearch routes will be available in your FastAPI app. Documentation for the routes can be viewed in the OpenAPI documentation of the FastAPI app. To view this start your FastAPI app and naviate to the docs http://localhost:8000/docs replacing the url with the correct url for your app.
