We (FDM.dk and FFWagency.com) have ported the Drupal 7 version of search_api_algolia to Drupal 8. The code is available at https://github.com/fdmweb/search_api_algolia. We are in contact with the maintainer of the search_api_algolia project to get the Drupal 8 version moved to drupal.org.

Got a working prototype in play at my local!!!
I am able to populate an algolia search index.
I would like co-maintainership to continually update here in this repository instead at my github.

d8 migration? Is that really a blocker to getting at least even a dev release on d.o?

To whom it may concern,

The dependency search_api module has gone through numerous API changes.. that frankly continually breaks our latest efforts to make use of search_api . From March 2016 to today the API changes that results in code crashes for the 8.x version of this module has happened. I will continue to make corresponding changes to this module to keep up with search_api API changes; having said that, I cannot do a stable release of an 8.x version of this module until search_api gets its first stable release.
