Why am I getting “Impossible to connect”, “Unable to connect”, or “Unreachable hosts” errors?# A
If you’re facing connectivity issues, here are some checks you should perform on your side before contacting our support team:
- Are you using the correct application ID and API key? You can find these credentials on your Algolia dashboard.
- Did anything recently change in your code or on your data center provider’s side? Make sure to check their status too.
- Using Firebase? The Firebase free plan only allows requests to other Google APIs. Because of this limitation, you can only use Algolia with Firebase if you’re on a paid Firebase tier.
If you’re unable to debug the problem yourself, contact the Algolia support team with the following information:
- API client and version (e.g., PHP API client 2)
- Framework integration and version (e.g., Scout Extended 1.9)
- Code snippet to reproduce the issue
- Error message or stack trace (if applicable)
- The Algolia index name with which you’re experiencing issues
- The precise timeline (in the UTC time zone of the event)
- Having trouble connecting to the Algolia API from your servers? Send us the link generated by the diagnostic script command on your impacted servers:
Copy

curl -sL https://algolia.com/downloads/diag.sh > ./diag.sh && sudo ./diag.sh ApplicationID
Ensure that you replace “ApplicationID” with your actual Algolia Application ID.

How to search in multiple entities at the same time?4#
A
To search in multiple entities at the same time, we recommend using aggregators. Aggregators let you index multiple entities in a single index.
To get started, please refer to the aggregators documentation.
