Resolving Typesense Server Connection with Correct API Keys and Paths

Rubai

is num_documents & number_hits both are same ? Jason

Jason

number_hits is not a Typesense param…

Rubai

so , is this the number of record stored on for my particular collection

Jason

num_documents in the collection schema is indeed the number of records stored in that particular collection

Rubai

got it . and can you please confirm is this is the curl for generating only search access `curl '' -X POST -H "X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY: ${TYPESENSE_API_KEY}" \` `-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \` `-d '{"description":"Admin key.","actions": ["*"], "collections": ["*"]}'`

Jason

No that’s an admin key

Jason

This is how you generate a search key:

Rubai

I am creating key with this curl `curl '' -X POST -H "X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY: ${TYPESENSE_API_KEY}" \` `-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \` `-d '{"description":"Search-only companies key.","actions": ["documents:search"], "collections": ["companies"]}'` but it won't for me , getting

Jason

That sounds like a networking problem. The browser is unable to connect to the Typesense server. It’s unrelated to api keys

Rubai

Now I am getting

Jason

In your first screenshot I saw a different collection name. If that’s the collection you’re trying to search, you want to generate an API key with that collection name. The last code snippet you shared above has the collection name as “companies”, which is why it’s not working

Rubai

no the curl was just demo . I updated the curl with our requirements

Rubai

the 1st image of the thread is the collection name

Jason

To isolate the issue, could you give me a set of steps like this that reproduces the issue: That spins up an empty Typesense server, makes an api call to create a key and then uses that key to do a search?

Rubai

what does the error means you can check the health for typesense here

Jason

If you look at the response body in the network tab in the browser tab, you’ll see the cause of the 404. If it just says not found, it’s likely the collection name is not found

Rubai

can You please check here what's the issue

Rubai

I can see the collection from collection API

Rubai

Rubai

is typesense host support in the / format ? my typesense host is `''`

Jason

You want to use the `path` config like this: ```{ host: "", port: "443", protocol: "https", path: '/typesense' }```

Rubai

my typesense host in `'` and I am using like ```typesenseServerConfig: { nodes: [ { host: '', port: 443, protocol: https } ], apiKey: searchOnlyApiKey },```

Rubai

beacuse i have the collection whatever we search . but can't able to call from frontend JS . is the cause for my host like `'` . is that then how I am call from frontend for this host

Jason

host has to be just the hostname “”

Jason

```typesenseServerConfig: { nodes: [ { host: '', port: 443, protocol: 'https', path: '/typesense' } ], apiKey: searchOnlyApiKey },```

Rubai

ok let me try

Rubai

if path is empty then can it be cause any issue

Jason

Path is optional

Rubai

ok

Rubai

hey Jason thank you so much it's working now
