Opt out of telemetry collection

The Algolia CLI collects telemetry, such as the commands you use, your operating system, and your profile information. For details, see Which information is collected on this page.

The Algolia CLI doesn’t collect sensitive information, such as usernames, email addresses, or API keys.

You can opt out of telemetry collection any time.

Opt out of telemetry for the current session

If you’re on macOS or Linux, you can turn off telemetry collection in your current session by setting the environment variable ALGOLIA_CLI_TELEMETRY to 0.

For example, in Bash-like shells, run:

$
export ALGOLIA_CLI_TELEMETRY=0

If you start a new shell session, you need to repeat this command if you want to opt out again.

Opt out of telemetry for all sessions

To turn off telemetry collection for all sessions, run:
