What is an attribute?

An attribute is a characteristic of an object that you’ve indexed to Algolia.

In the following example, “name”, “type” and “color” are three different attributes of the given record.

1
2
3
4
5

{
  "name": "Apple",
  "type": "Fruit",
  "color": "Green"
}

Your objects can have as many attributes as you want. There’s virtually no limit on how many characters an attribute can have, as long as it fits into the size limit of records for your plan.
