Azure AI Search | Operate As Docs

Connect your client's Azure AI Search with a key they paste, and call its API through Operate As.

Website: azure.microsoft.com
Connects by: Pasting a Admin key
Category: AI
Services: 1
Tools: Pass-through only

Service	Key	Base URL
Azure AI Search	`azure-ai-search`	`https://{service}.search.windows.net`

Your client also types their search service name (The part before .search.windows.net in your service's address).

Connecting

Your client makes a Admin key in their Azure AI Search settings and pastes it on their link. Operate As tries it with Azure AI Search before saving it, and stores it encrypted. See Services connected with an API key.

Pass-through

Azure AI Search has no ready-made tools yet. Call any endpoint of its API through Operate As instead, with the client's access attached.

Add the client

In Clients, add your client and select Azure AI Search. Then send them their link.

Your client connects

They paste a Admin key from their Azure AI Search settings.

Find the endpoint

Pick the call from Azure AI Search's own API docs. Your path is everything after https://{service}.search.windows.net, with the parts in braces filled in from your client's account.

Send it through Operate As

Use the client's ID, the service key azure-ai-search and that path. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

When access ends

A key works until your client deletes it in Azure AI Search. They can paste a new one on the same link at any time, and your workflows carry on without changes.

See Keeping access alive and Removing access.
