# Azure AI Search

<Note>
  If you're new to Unstructured, read this note first.

  Before you can create a destination connector, you must first [sign up for Unstructured](https://platform.unstructured.io) and get your
  Unstructured API key. After you sign up, the [Unstructured user interface](/ui/overview) (UI) appears, which you use to get the key.
  To learn how, watch this 40-second [how-to video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FucugLkYB6M).

  After you create the destination connector, add it along with a
  [source connector](/api-reference/workflow/sources/overview) to a [workflow](/api-reference/workflow/overview#workflows).
  Then run the worklow as a [job](/api-reference/workflow/overview#jobs). To learn how, try out the
  [hands-on Workflow Endpoint quickstart](/api-reference/workflow/overview#quickstart),
  go directly to the [quickstart notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/13f5C9WtUvIPjwJzxyOR3pNJ9K9vnF4ww),
  or watch the two 4-minute video tutorials for the [Unstructured Python SDK](/api-reference/workflow/overview#unstructured-python-sdk).

  You can also create destination connectors with the Unstructured user interface (UI).
  [Learn how](/ui/destinations/overview).

  If you need help, reach out to the [community](https://short.unstructured.io/pzw05l7) on Slack, or
  [contact us](https://unstructured.io/contact) directly.

  You are now ready to start creating a destination connector! Keep reading to learn how.

Send processed data from Unstructured to Azure AI Search.

The requirements are as follows.

The following video shows how to fulfill the minimum set of Azure AI Search requirements:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6ZjU5OupWE8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen />

Here are some more details about these requirements:

* The endpoint and API key for Azure AI Search. [Create an endpoint and API key](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/search/search-create-service-portal).
* The name of the index in Azure AI Search. [Create an index](https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/searchservice/create-index).

  The Azure AI Search index that you use must have an index schema that is compatible with the schema of the documents
  that Unstructured produces for you. Unstructured cannot provide a schema that is guaranteed to work in all
  circumstances. This is because these schemas will vary based on your source files' types; how you
  want Unstructured to partition, chunk, and generate embeddings; any custom post-processing code that you run; and other factors.

  You can adapt the following index schema example for your own needs:

To create an Azure AI Search destination connector, see the following examples.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python SDK theme={null}
  import os

  from unstructured_client import UnstructuredClient
  from unstructured_client.models.operations import CreateDestinationRequest
  from unstructured_client.models.shared import (
      CreateDestinationConnector,
      DestinationConnectorType,
      AzureAISearchConnectorConfigInput
  )

  with UnstructuredClient(api_key_auth=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY")) as client:
      response = client.destinations.create_destination(
          request=CreateDestinationRequest(
              create_destination_connector=CreateDestinationConnector(
                  name="<name>",
                  type=DestinationConnectorType.AZURE_AI_SEARCH,
                  config=AzureAISearchConnectorConfigInput(
                      endpoint="<endpoint>",
                      index="<index>",
                      key="<azure-ai-search-key>"
                  )
              )
          )
      )

      print(response.destination_connector_information)
  ```

  ```bash curl theme={null}
  curl --request 'POST' --location \
  "$UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL/destinations" \
  --header 'accept: application/json' \
  --header "unstructured-api-key: $UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY" \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data \
  '{
      "name": "<name>",
      "type": "azure_ai_search",
      "config": {
          "endpoint": "<endpoint>",
          "index": "<index>",
          "azure_ai_search_key": "<azure-ai-search-key>"
      }
  }'
  ```

Replace the preceding placeholders as follows:

* `<name>` (required) - A unique name for this connector.
* `<endpoint>` (required) - The endpoint URL for Azure AI Search.
* `<index>` (required) - The name of the index for Azure AI Search.
* `<azure-ai-search-key>` (required) - The API key for Azure AI Search.
