Code Snippet

def create_algolia_client():
    algolia_api_key = os.environ.get("INVIDEO_ALGOLIA_API_ID").strip()
    algolia_api_id = os.environ.get("INVIDEO_ALGOLIA_API_KEY").strip()
    if algolia_api_id is not "" and algolia_api_key is not "":
        algolia_client = SearchClient.create(algolia_api_id, algolia_api_key)
        logger.info("algolia search client created")
        return algolia_client
    else:
        logger.error("algolia id and key is missing, failed to create insights client")


def update_templates_data_in_algolia(records):
    algolia_client = create_algolia_client()
    templates_v4_index = algolia_client.init_index("templates_v4")
    res = templates_v4_index.save_objects(records, {"autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist": True})
    logger.info("Got Response from Algolia", res)

I am running this code snippet inside AWS Lambda.
After reading the possible solutions in past Issue. I added urllib3, requests[security] and pyOpenSSL libraries.

Here's the pyproject.toml -

python = "3.8.5"
algoliasearch = "^2.5.0"
urllib3 = "^1.26.6"
requests[security] = 2.9.1
pyOpenSSL = 20.0.1

We have performed following checks -

1. Api ID and Key are valid, were able to upload records from Local.
2. Record Object is valid.
3. Our Lambda is not in any VPC.
4. Ensured our Lambda is able to resolve Algolia Server by performing DNS Lookup on .algolia.net.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run the provided snippet inside AWS Lambda with above configuration for python.
2. Pass any valid record object and replace ID and Key with a valid one.

Update: Regenerating the Write API Key solved my issue. However Algolia should still look into what causes this error state...

Same here running locally on a Mac with

    client = SearchClient.create(algolia_application_id, algolia_api_key)
    index = client.init_index(algolia_index)
    request_options = {
        "autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist":True
    }

@dylancaponi Thanks, man! Regenerating the Write API Key solved my issue.
