​

Migrate Using npx

The command below prompts you to provide credentials for the indexes that you want to do the migration between.

You can also provide your credentials and other information as command-line flags. Here are some examples:

​

Algolia to Upstash

npx @upstash/search-migrator \
  --upstash-url "UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_URL" \
  --upstash-token "UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_TOKEN" \
  --algolia-app-id "YOUR_ALGOLIA_APP_ID" \
  --algolia-api-key "YOUR_ALGOLIA_WRITE_API_KEY"

Meilisearch to Upstash

  --upstash-token "UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_TOKEN" \
  --meilisearch-host "YOUR_MEILISEARCH_HOST" \
  --meilisearch-api-key "YOUR_MEILISEARCH_API_KEY"

​

Migration Process

The migrator will:

1. Connect to your source database (Algolia or Meilisearch)
2. Fetch all documents from the specified index
3. Transform the data to match Upstash Search’s format
4. Upload the documents to your Upstash Search database
5. Verify the migration by comparing document counts

​

Data Transformation

The migrator automatically handles the transformation of your data:

• Document IDs: Preserved from the source
• Content: Mapped to Upstash Search’s content field
• Metadata: Preserved as metadata in Upstash Search
• Searchable fields: All fields become searchable by default

​

Getting Help

If you encounter any issues during migration:

1. Check the error messages for specific details
2. Verify your credentials are correct
3. Ensure your source database is accessible
4. Contact support at support@upstash.com
