About this method #

Get a rule by its objectID.

To find the objectID for rules, use the searchRules method.

objectID isn’t a reference to an Algolia record: it’s the unique identifier for a Rules object.

Examples #

1
$rule = $index->getRule('ruleID');

Parameters #

objectID #
type: string
Required

The ID of the Rule to retrieve.

Response #

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Each API client encapsulates this response inside objects specific to the programming language, so that the actual response might be different. You can view the response by using the getLogs method. Don’t rely on the order of attributes in the response, as JSON doesn’t guarantee the ordering of keys in objects.
