# Algolia Pulse Algolia automatically closes free-tier indices after extended inactivity. **Algolia Pulse** keeps indices alive by performing regular search queries. It's lightweight, cheap (counts toward API quota but not metered), and can be scheduled to run daily or hourly via cron. --- ## Setup ### 1. Create the config file Create a JSON file with your Algolia app credentials. Suggested location: ``` ~/.algolia/pulse-config.json ``` Or keep it in a project-specific location, e.g.: ``` /media/data/dev/bain-studio/studio/algolia-pulse-config.json ``` Config format: ```json { "apps": [ { "name": "example-app-1", "app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID", "admin_api_key": "YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY", "indices": [ { "name": "products", "query": "*" }, { "name": "blog", "query": "a" } ] }, { "name": "example-app-2", "app_id": "ANOTHER_APP_ID", "admin_api_key": "ANOTHER_API_KEY", "indices": [ { "name": "posts", "query": "*" } ] } ] } ``` **Fields:** - `name`: Friendly name for the app (for logging) - `app_id`: Algolia Application ID - `admin_api_key`: Algolia Admin API Key (needed for search operations) - `indices`: Array of indices to query - `name`: Index name - `query`: Search query to perform (e.g., `"*"` for any record, `"a"` for a simple letter query) ### 2.
