Installation
To get started, simply require the project using Composer.
You will also need to install packages that "provide" psr/http-client-implementation
and psr/http-factory-implementation
.
A list with compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at php-http.org.
If you don't know which HTTP client to use, we recommend using Guzzle 7:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php guzzlehttp/guzzle http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
Here is an example of installation with the symfony/http-client
:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
Run MeiliSearch
There are many easy ways to download and run a MeiliSearch instance.
For example, if you use Docker:
docker pull getmeili/meilisearch:latest # Fetch the latest version of MeiliSearch image from Docker Hub
docker run -it --rm -p 7700:7700 getmeili/meilisearch:latest ./meilisearch --master-key=masterKey
NB: you can also download MeiliSearch from Homebrew or APT.

Getting Started
Add documents
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use MeiliSearch\Client;
$client = new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey');
# An index is where the documents are stored.
$index = $client->index('books');
$documents = [
['book_id' => 123, 'title' => 'Pride and Prejudice', 'author' => 'Jane Austen'],
['book_id' => 456, 'title' => 'Le Petit Prince', 'author' => 'Antoine de Saint-Exupรฉry'],
['book_id' => 1, 'title' => 'Alice In Wonderland', 'author' => 'Lewis Carroll'],
['book_id' => 1344, 'title' => 'The Hobbit', 'author' => 'J. R. R. Tolkien'],
['book_id' => 4, 'title' => 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', 'author' => 'J. K. Rowling'],
['book_id' => 42, 'title' => 'The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy', 'author' => 'Douglas Adams, Eoin Colfer, Thomas Tidholm'],
];
# If the index 'books' does not exist, MeiliSearch creates it when you first add the documents.
$index->addDocuments($documents); // => { "updateId": 0 }
With the updateId
, you can check the status (enqueued
, processed
or failed
) of your documents addition using the update endpoint.
Basic Search
// MeiliSearch is typo-tolerant:
$hits = $index->search('harry pottre')->getHits();
print_r($hits);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[title] => Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
)
)
Custom Search
All the supported options are described in the search parameters section of the documentation.
search()
method in the Wiki.
$index->search(
'prince',
[
'attributesToHighlight' => ['*'],
'filters' => 'book_id > 10'
]
)->getRaw(); // Return in Array format
JSON output:
{
"hits": [
{
"book_id": 456,
"title": "Le Petit Prince"
}
],
"offset": 0,
"limit": 20,
"processingTimeMs": 10,
"query": "prince"
}

HTTP Client Compatibilities
You could use any PSR-18 compatible client to use with this SDK. No additional configurations are required.
A list of compatible HTTP clients and client adapters can be found at php-http.org.
If you want to use this meilisearch-php
:
- with
guzzlehttp/guzzle
(Guzzle 7), run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php guzzlehttp/guzzle http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
- with
php-http/guzzle6-adapter
(Guzzle < 7), run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php php-http/guzzle6-adapter:^2.0 http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0
- with
symfony/http-client
, run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
- with
php-http/curl-client
, run:
composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7:^1.0
- with
kriswallsmith/buzz

composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php kriswallsmith/buzz nyholm/psr7:^1.0
Customize your HTTP Client
For some reason, you might want to pass a custom configuration to your own HTTP client.
Make sure you have a PSR-18 compatible client when you initialize the MeiliSearch client.
Following the example in the Getting Started section, with the Guzzle HTTP client:
new Client('http://127.0.0.1:7700', 'masterKey', new GuzzleHttpClient(['timeout' => 2]));
