Ghost Algolia tools

Ghost Algolia tools offers tools to index and fragment Ghost posts to an Algolia index. It consists of two user facing tools:

• algolia, which is a CLI tool to batch index the full content of a Ghost install to a defined Algolia index
• algolia-netlify, which uses Netlify Functions to listen to Ghost webhooks and add, update, and remove posts to an Algolia index

Ghost Algolia CLI

While the Algolia Netlify tool is useful to maintain your search index, the Ghost Algolia CLI is good for the initial indexing of the full post content of a site. See full install and user instructions in the package description here.
