Azure AI Search credentials#

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

Prerequisites#

Supported authentication methods#

This node uses API key authentication.

Refer to Azure AI Search documentation for more information about the service.

Using API key#

To configure this credential, you'll need:

  • Endpoint: Your Azure AI Search service URL (format: https://your-service.search.windows.net)
  • API Key: Admin key (read-write) or query key (read-only)

To get these values:

  1. Navigate to your Azure AI Search service in the Azure Portal
  2. Copy the URL from the Overview section
  3. Go to Settings > Keys and copy: - Admin key for full read-write access, or - Query key for read-only querying
  4. Enter these values in n8n

API key permissions

Admin keys provide full access including index creation and deletion. Query keys provide read-only access. Choose based on your workflow requirements.

Troubleshooting#

Authentication errors#

API key authentication fails: - Verify the API key is correct and hasn't been regenerated in Azure Portal - Confirm you're using an admin key for write operations (insert/update) - Check that the key hasn't expired or been rotated

Connection issues#

  • Verify endpoint URL format: https://your-service.search.windows.net
  • Confirm your Azure AI Search service is running
  • Check network security rules and firewall settings allow access from your n8n instance
