Error: Could not reach Algolia's Crawler, got: Forbidden {}

Netlify Integration
#1

The algolia-netlify plugin has been failing for me. I have the ALGOLIA_API_KEY and ALGOLIA_BASE_URL set in the environment variable. I also set NETLIFY_BUILD_DEBUG to get more logs. Here’s the logs I am seeing.

Hello!

You can find more information on this issue over on GitHub for the plugin: Error: Could not reach Algolia's Crawler, got: Forbidden {} · Issue #844 · algolia/algoliasearch-netlify · GitHub

This should help answer any questions you have! Thanks!

#3

Thanks for the pointer! Seems from the thread that it should be working right now. Is there any updates I need to do? I retried my build just now but still getting the same error.

#4

@royxagain Are there any Algolia variables on this page? If not, you can re-add them or re-install the plugin to set it back up again.

Let me know, happy to help further. Thanks!

#5

Thanks! I’ve cleaned up everything and re-install them and now they worked!
