Getting Started with Quasiris Search Cloud: Launch Your First Search
The Quasiris Search Cloud (QSC) is a powerful SaaS solution for implementing search functionality in your online shop or application. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to launch your first search using QSC.
Requirements
Before we start, make sure you have:
- A Quasiris Search Cloud account
- An API key to access QSC
- A dataset in the QSC JSON format
Bringing Your Data to QSC Format
QSC requires data in a specific format to ensure optimal search performance. If you already have a product catalog or structured data, you’ll need to transform it into the QSC format.
