The team at TopK set themselves on a path to create a performant, batteries-included search engine which provides relevant results for datasets of any size. We believe that search is a fundamental part of any application and should be straighforward to implement, giving you more freedom to focus on building your product.

​
Getting started

This is an overview of the steps you need to take and will find in more detail in the Quickstart guide. It’s here to illustrate how simple and fast creating your first search experience with TopK can be.

1

Install the SDK

SDK will allow you to communicate with the TopK API. It’s literally just one command.

2

Create an API key

API key is a secret token that you will use to authenticate your requests to the TopK API.

3

Create your first collection

You can imagine collections as your database tables. Each collection can have its own schema and data. An example of a collection could be a collection of movies or users.

4

Add documents to your first collection

These are instructions or content that only pertain to the second step.

5

Search your collection

These are instructions or content that only pertain to the third step.
