The Scenario
You are a growth analyst. The board deck is due Thursday at noon. Slide 12 needs a table: top 100 search queries by click-through rate and purchase conversion for the last 30 days, pulled from Algolia.
You have never queried the Algolia analytics API. The data is in there. Getting it into a Google Sheet is the problem.
The bad version of Wednesday night:
- You read the Algolia analytics API documentation for an hour
- You write a Python script to call the endpoint, handling pagination
- The response format is nested JSON and you spend another 30 minutes flattening it
- You paste the result into the sheet manually, 100 rows at a time
- The column headers do not match what the board slide template expects
- You are still editing the sheet at 11:45 PM the night before the presentation
The fast version is one prompt, Wednesday afternoon.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads the Algolia analytics API and writes the results directly into your sheet, formatted the way you need them.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Get the top 100 searches from my Algolia index 'products' ranked by click-through rate for the last 30 days. Include click-through rate and conversion rate for each query. Write query to column A, CTR to column B, and conversion rate to column C. Sort by CTR descending.
SheetXAI calls the analytics API, paginates through the results, flattens the response, and writes everything into the sheet with the correct column order. The slide data is ready before your next meeting.
What You Get
A board-ready analytics table with:
- Column A — search query, exactly as customers typed it
- Column B — click-through rate for the last 30 days
- Column C — purchase conversion rate for the last 30 days
- 100 rows — top queries by CTR, sorted descending
The data is live from Algolia, not a screenshot of the dashboard. When someone asks in the board meeting whether a number is current, the answer is yes.
Want revenue added? Ask SheetXAI to pull total revenue generated per query into column D.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Analytics exports are clean in structure but often need framing before they land in a slide deck.
When the query strings include internal tracking tokens
Some queries have appended parameters like "running-shoes?src=email" that inflate the unique query count.
Pull the top 100 searches from my Algolia index 'products' by CTR for the last 30 days. Strip any URL parameters from the query strings before writing them. Write cleaned query, CTR, and conversion rate to columns A, B, and C.
When the board wants to see it broken into high-intent vs browse queries
Queries with purchase conversion above 10% are high-intent. The rest are browse.
Pull the top 100 Algolia searches by CTR from my 'products' index for the last 30 days. Write query, CTR, and conversion rate to columns A, B, and C. Add a column D that labels each row "High Intent" if conversion rate exceeds 10%, and "Browse" otherwise.
When you want only queries above a minimum search volume
Rare queries that happened to convert once should not dominate a "top queries" list.
Pull the top 100 Algolia searches by CTR from my 'products' index for the last 30 days. Exclude any query with fewer than 50 total searches. Write query, CTR, conversion rate, and search count to columns A through D.
When you want a comparison across two time periods to show trend
The board also wants to know whether CTR improved versus the prior month.
Pull the top 50 searches from my Algolia index 'products' by CTR for the last 30 days and write them to columns A, B, and C. Then pull the same top 50 queries for the prior 30 days and find the CTR for each matching query. Write the prior-period CTR to column D and calculate the percentage change in column E. Highlight rows where CTR declined by more than 5 percentage points.
The pattern: pull the raw analytics once and let SheetXAI do the formatting, filtering, and comparison inline. The slide data is ready in one shot.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a blank Google Sheet, then ask it to pull your Algolia search analytics. The Algolia integration is included in every SheetXAI plan. For related workflows, see how to pull A/B test results into a sheet or the Algolia in Google Sheets overview.
