# Algolia cost tracking

Sumloop pulls Algolia usage on a schedule and puts it in the same ledger
as every other vendor a team pays.

## How to connect Algolia

1. In the Algolia dashboard, open Settings > API keys and copy your Application ID.
2. Create (or copy) an API key with the `usage` ACL — the Usage API rejects a plain search key.
3. Paste the application ID and key below.
4. Algolia reports operations, not dollars — set a price per operation under Rates after connecting.
