What is Searq?
Built on Ruby on Rails, a popular web application framework that provides a robust foundation for building scalable and maintainable web applications, Searq uses MeiliSearch as its search engine, providing powerful search capabilities through its simple and intuitive API.<p>Searq provides several endpoints that developers can use to interact with the API:<p>Search Endpoint<p>The search endpoint is one of the most important endpoints in Searq. It allows developers to search the index for specific items using a search query. To use the search endpoint, developers can send a GET request to the items endpoint with a search query parameter.<p>Feeds Endpoint<p>The feeds endpoint allows developers to add, delete, and update RSS feeds. To add a feed, developers can simply send a POST request to the feeds endpoint with the URL of the RSS feed. Searq will then fetch the feed and add it to the search index.<p>Tasks Endpoint<p>The tasks endpoint allows developers to view the status of tasks that are running in the background. For example, when a new feed is added, Searq will fetch the feed and update the search index in the background. Developers can use the tasks endpoint to monitor the status of this process.<p>Items Endpoint<p>The items endpoint allows developers to search the index for specific items. Developers can send a GET request to the items endpoint with a search query, and Searq will return a list of items that match the query.<p>Benefits of using Searq<p>There are several benefits to using Searq:<p>Easy to use: Searq provides a simple and intuitive API that developers can use to build their own search engines.
