@Seach.Facet values not returned in REST API

Viswavaageesh Chandramouli 20

Hi All,

There's a difference between the results returned in the Azure Search Portal and the Rest API.
The parameter @search.facets and its associated values are not returned using the Rest API.

In the Azure Portal using a JSON query, the parameter @search.facets is retured:

But, in visual studio code, use the REST API Request:


GET {{baseUrl}}/indexes/{{indexName}}/docs?api-version=2024-05-01-preview&search=Renewables&$filter=TimePeriod eq '2035' and EnergyVector eq 'Renewables'&$select=*&$facet=Location,count:1000
Content-Type: application/json
api-key: {{apiKey}}

The parameter is not returned.

Thanks in advance.

@Viswavaageesh Chandramouli Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

Could you please modify the filter expression with below in rest API and check $filter=TimePeriod eq '2035' &EnergyVector eq 'Renewables'

If the issue persists, my recommendation would be to validate the search query that the portal is sending to the Search service.
You can do this by examining the request URI or payload of the request under the network tab (when you hit search in search explorer) in the developer tools of your browser.

Thanks for the reply but changing the filter expression did not work.

The payload being sent in the search explorer is:

It's a POST request. I've used the same payload in my GET

@Viswavaageesh Chandramouli similar to portal instead of using GET method if you use POST were you able to get the expected results?
