This guide walks you through creating an Upstash Search database and retrieving your API credentials:
UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_URL and UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_TOKEN.

What Is Upstash Search?

Upstash Search is a fully managed, serverless search database built on Redis.
It’s perfect for fast, cost-efficient full-text search in static or serverless environments like Astro Actions.

Step 1: Create an Upstash Account

1. Go to https://upstash.com
2. Sign up using GitHub, Google, or email.
3. Once logged in, click “Create Database” → “Search”.

###Step 2: Create a Search Database

1. Choose Search as the database type.
2. Give your database a name (e.g., my-search).
3. Pick a region close to your users (e.g., eu-west-1 for Europe).
4. Click “Create Database”.

Upstash will automatically provision your search database within a few seconds.

Step 3: Get Your Credentials

After the database is created:

1. Open the database dashboard.
2. Find the “REST API” section.
3. Copy the following values:
   • REST URL → UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_URL
   • REST Token → UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_TOKEN

Example:

UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_URL=https://your-search-name-eu1.upstash.io
UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_TOKEN=AYJZZasvNjY6MjM3MzYtYWI2My00ZTNhLTlkNmEtODJmNTA1NzJmZGE4YjNkZTRlNGRmYzA=

---

Step 4: Add to Your Environment Variables

In your Astro project root, create a .env file (if you don’t already have one):

touch .env

Add your credentials:

UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_URL="https://your-search-name.upstash.io"
UPSTASH_SEARCH_REST_TOKEN="your-secret-token"
