Algolia::AlgoliaHttpError (Unknown parameter: headers)

[breiko83]

Trying to add a custom header to search request as documented in Algolia docs doesn't seem to work:

res = index.search('', {
  headers: {
    # Replace `XX.XXX.XXX.XXXX` with your user's IP address
    'X-Forwarded-For': 'XX.XXX.XXX.XXX'
  }
})

Algolia::AlgoliaHttpError (Unknown parameter: headers)

Any suggestions?

Hi @breiko83 ,

are you on the latest version of the algoliasearch-rails gem? If not, which versions do you have in your lockfile for algoliasearch-rails and the algolia gem?

Thanks!

[breiko83]

algoliasearch-rails (2.2.2)
algolia (2.3.2)

I believe your code should work in that case, could you provide some more context please that could help reproduce the issue?

[breiko83]

Sure here is what my code looks like:

include AlgoliaSearch
search("jordan",{clickAnalytics: true})
# works

search("jordan",{clickAnalytics: true, headers: {foo:"bar"}})
# return *** Algolia::AlgoliaHttpError Exception: Unknown parameter: headers

Instead of calling search directly, could you try with calling index.search please? The search method indeed seems to not accept search options for now as it will pass everything as a search option instead of moving the headers key towards the request headers.

The problem with this is the class response.

search('jordan').class -> AlgoliaSearch::Pagination::Kaminari
# this is what I need

index.search('jordan',headers: {foo:"bar"}).class -> Hash
# headers works but response is a Hash
