Does anyone know how to connect Algolia Instant Search with an API/database? In all their examples they have their data sets connected to "indexName"- see below: 
I can't seem to find how to configure a personal data set as an index.
Here is the link to the example repo I'm looking at: https://github.com/algolia/react-instantsearch/tree/master/examples/geo-search

The Getting Started section of the Algolia Docs (Specifically the Indexing section) is likely a good place to start. This section will walk to you the various ways to create an index and fill it with data
