I'm connecting Algolia with a Firebase project I have. I'm using the Firebase Cloud Functions in order to keep my Algolia index synced with all changes that occur in my Firebase database. But whenever I call
index.saveObject(firebaseObject);
from inside my Firebase Cloud Functions, I get
AlgoliaSearchNetworkError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND 5sffby8as8-1.algolianet 5sffby8as8-1.algolianet:443
I can run the syncing operation just fine outside of Firebase Functions (just on my own machine). This code is run in a javascript file through node.js.
I haven't found any current questions or answers about this in any of my searches. Any ideas or help?

Reset to default 30I found out that the Spark plan on Firebase (the free-tier that I was using) doesn't allow outbound requests to 3rd-party APIs. I had to upgrade to one of the paid plans (Flame or Blaze) to be able to connect to the Algolia network from within the Firebase Cloud Functions.
A caveat was included in their getting started guide.
