Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in April 2026, with Algolia's own documentation listing Syria among restricted countries and API requests from Syrian IPs returning a 401 error. The team contacted the company in April 2026 and sent a follow-up; Algolia's support replied but was non-committal, neither confirming nor denying any policy change. No resolution yet.

Investigated
Community testing confirmed that Algolia is blocked in Syria. Algolia's own support documentation explicitly lists Syria among restricted countries alongside Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Users attempting to access Algolia APIs from Syrian IPs receive an HTTP 401 Forbidden response.

You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Algolia or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
