Azure Search provides a REST API used with Azure Resource Manager to provision and administer a search service in your Azure subscription. To manage your search service programmatically, specify the ARM endpoint https://management.azure.com with a search management operation:
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/[subscriptionId]/resourceGroups/[resourceGroupName]/providers/Microsoft.Search/searchServices/[serviceName]?api-version=2015-08-19
You can use .NET or PowerShell for search management, or write code that includes an HTTP client.
