public final class SearchIndexClientBuilder
implements AzureKeyCredentialTrait<SearchIndexClientBuilder>, ConfigurationTrait<SearchIndexClientBuilder>, EndpointTrait<SearchIndexClientBuilder>, HttpTrait<SearchIndexClientBuilder>, TokenCredentialTrait<SearchIndexClientBuilder>

This class provides a fluent builder API to help aid the configuration and instantiation of SearchIndexClient and SearchIndexAsyncClient.

Overview

This client allows you to create instances of SearchIndexClient and SearchIndexAsyncClient to utilize synchronous and asynchronous APIs respectively to interact with Azure AI Search.

Getting Started

Authentication

Azure AI Search supports Microsoft Entra ID (role-based) authentication and API keys for authentication.

For more information about the scopes of authorization, see the Azure AI Search Security Overview documentation.

Building and Authenticating a SearchIndexClient or SearchIndexAsyncClient using API keys

To build an instance of SearchIndexClient or SearchIndexAsyncClient using API keys, call buildClient() and buildAsyncClient() respectively from the SearchIndexClientBuilder.

The following must be provided to construct a client instance.

  • The Azure AI Search service URL.
  • An AzureKeyCredential that grants access to the Azure AI Search service.

Instantiating a synchronous Search Index Client

SearchIndexClient searchIndexClient = new SearchIndexClientBuilder()
     .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("{key}"))
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .buildClient();

Instantiating an asynchronous Search Index Client

SearchIndexAsyncClient searchIndexAsyncClient = new SearchIndexClientBuilder()
     .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("{key}"))
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .buildAsyncClient();

Building and Authenticating a SearchIndexClient or SearchIndexAsyncClient using Microsoft Entra

You can also create a SearchIndexClient or SearchIndexAsyncClient using Microsoft Entra ID authentication. Your user or service principal must be assigned the "Search Index Data Reader" role. Using Azure Identity you can authenticate a service using Managed Identity or a service principal, authenticate as a developer working on an application, and more all without changing code. Please refer the documentation for instructions on how to connect to Azure AI Search using Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC).

Before you can use any credential type from Azure.Identity, you'll first need to install the Azure.Identity package. There are a variety of credentials types available in Azure.Identity. To better understand your authentication options, view the Azure Identity README. and Azure Identity Samples.

Make sure you use the right namespace for DefaultAzureCredential at the top of your source file:

import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredential;
 import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;

Then you can create an instance of DefaultAzureCredential and pass it to a new instance of your client:

Instantiating a synchronous Search Index Client

DefaultAzureCredential credential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();

 SearchIndexClient searchIndexClient = new SearchIndexClientBuilder()
     .credential(credential)
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .buildClient();

Instantiating an asynchronous Search Index Client

DefaultAzureCredential credential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();

 SearchIndexAsyncClient searchIndexAsyncClient = new SearchIndexClientBuilder()
     .credential(credential)
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .buildAsyncClient();

Constructor Details

SearchIndexClientBuilder

public SearchIndexClientBuilder()

Creates a builder instance that is able to configure and construct SearchIndexClient and SearchIndexAsyncClient.

Method Details

addPolicy

public SearchIndexClientBuilder addPolicy(HttpPipelinePolicy policy)

Adds a HttpPipelinePolicy to apply on each request sent.

Note: It is important to understand the precedence order of the HttpTrait APIs. In particular, if a HttpPipeline is specified, this takes precedence over all other APIs in the trait, and they will be ignored. If no HttpPipeline is specified, a HTTP pipeline will be constructed internally based on the settings provided to this trait. Additionally, there may be other APIs in types that implement this trait that are also ignored if an HttpPipeline is specified, so please be sure to refer to the documentation of types that implement this trait to understand the full set of implications.

Parameters:

policy - A HttpPipelinePolicy.

Returns:

The updated SearchIndexClientBuilder object.

audience

public SearchIndexClientBuilder audience(SearchAudience audience)

Sets the Audience to use for authentication with Microsoft Entra ID.

The audience is not considered when using a credential(AzureKeyCredential credential).

If audience is null the public cloud audience will be assumed.

Parameters:

audience - The Audience to use for authentication with Microsoft Entra ID.

Returns:

The updated SearchClientBuilder object.

buildAsyncClient

public SearchIndexAsyncClient buildAsyncClient()

Creates a SearchIndexAsyncClient based on options set in the Builder. Every time buildAsyncClient() is called a new instance of SearchIndexAsyncClient is created.

If pipeline(HttpPipeline httpPipeline) is set, then only the pipeline and endpoint(String endpoint) are used to create the SearchIndexAsyncClient. All other builder settings are ignored.

Returns:

A SearchIndexAsyncClient with the options set from the builder.

buildClient

public SearchIndexClient buildClient()

Creates a SearchIndexClient based on options set in the Builder. Every time buildClient() is called a new instance of SearchIndexClient is created.

If pipeline(HttpPipeline httpPipeline) is set, then only the pipeline and endpoint(String endpoint) are used to create the SearchIndexClient. All other builder settings are ignored.

Returns:

A SearchIndexClient with the options set from the builder.

clientOptions

public SearchIndexClientBuilder clientOptions(ClientOptions clientOptions)

Allows for setting common properties such as application ID, headers, proxy configuration, etc. Note that it is recommended that this method be called with an instance of the HttpClientOptions class (a subclass of the ClientOptions base class). The HttpClientOptions subclass provides more configuration options suitable for HTTP clients, which is applicable for any class that implements this HttpTrait interface.

Note: It is important to understand the precedence order of the HttpTrait APIs. In particular, if a HttpPipeline is specified, this takes precedence over all other APIs in the trait, and they will be ignored. If no HttpPipeline is specified, a HTTP pipeline will be constructed internally based on the settings provided to this trait. Additionally, there may be other APIs in types that implement this trait that are also ignored if an HttpPipeline is specified, so please be sure to refer to the documentation of types that implement this trait to understand the full set of implications.

Parameters:

clientOptions - A configured instance of HttpClientOptions.

Returns:

The updated SearchIndexClientBuilder object.
