Indices operations

Copy or move an index

Copies or moves (renames) an index within the same Algolia application.

Existing destination indices are overwritten, except for their analytics data.
If the destination index doesn’t exist yet, it’ll be created.
This operation is resource-intensive.

Copy

Copying a source index that doesn’t exist creates a new index with 0 records and default settings.
The API keys of the source index are merged with the existing keys in the destination index.
You can’t copy the enableReRanking, mode, and replicas settings.
You can’t copy to a destination index that already has replicas.
Be aware of the size limits.

Move

Moving a source index that doesn’t exist is ignored without returning an error.
When moving an index, the analytics data keeps its original name, and a new set of analytics data is started for the new name. To access the original analytics in the dashboard, create an index with the original name.
If the destination index has replicas, moving will overwrite the existing index and copy the data to the replica indices.

This operation is subject to indexing rate limits.
