[bug]: DEP0169 Uncaught Exception - url.parse() deprecation warning in algoliasearch-client-javascript

[alcoceba]

Description

When performing a server-side search using the Algolia client in a Next.js (App Router) environment, the application throws a warning due to the use of the deprecated url.parse() API (Node.js internal code DEP0169).

This occurs during the execution of:

import algoliasearch from 'algoliasearch/lite';

const algoliaClient = algoliasearch('xxx', 'xxx');
...
const response = await algoliaClient.search(requests);

Environment

• Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router)
• Library: algoliasearch@4.25.3
• Node.js Version: 24

Steps to Reproduce

• Set up an Algolia client using the "Backend Search" pattern in Next.js.
• Call algoliaClient.search(requests) within a Server Action or a Server Component.
• Trigger a search request.
• The process terminates with DEP0169 uncaught exception.

Expected Behavior

The client should use the standard WHATWG URL API (new URL()) for URL parsing to comply with modern Node.js standards and avoid security implications as suggested by the Node.js core.

Actual Behavior

The client seems to be using url.parse(), which triggers a critical warning that, in certain strict environments or under specific Node.js configurations, results in an uncaughtException that crashes the dev server.

[Haroenv]

You should use algoliasearch v5 which already has this fixed. You're using v4.

Compare v4:

algoliasearch-client-javascript/packages/requester-node-http/src/createNodeHttpRequester.ts

Line 32 in 4348b38

const url = URL.parse(request.url);

with v5:

algoliasearch-client-javascript/packages/requester-node-http/src/createHttpRequester.ts

Line 35 in 1c2c3e0

const url = new URL(request.url);

which no longer uses url.parse
