Performing search queries using API v2

1. Create a file with the request body, e.g., body.json:

   body.json

   {
       "query": {
         "search_type": "<search_type>",
         "query_text": "<search_query_text>",
         "family_mode": "<result_filter_setting_value>",
         "page": "<page_number>"
       },
       "sort_spec": {
         "sort_mode": "<result_sorting_rule>",
         "sort_order": "<sort_order_of_results>"
       },
       "group_spec": {
         "group_mode": "<result_grouping_method>",
         "groups_on_page": "<number_of_groups_per_page>",
         "docs_in_group": "<number_of_documents_per_group>"
       },
       "max_passages": "<maximum_number_of_passages>",
       "region": "<region_ID>",
       "l10n": "<notification_language>",
       "folder_id": "<folder_ID>"
   }

2. Run a gRPC call by specifying the IAM token you got earlier:

   grpcurl \
     -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>" \
     -d @ < body.json \
     searchapi.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 yandex.cloud.searchapi.v2.WebSearchAsyncService/Search
   

   Result:

   {
     "id": "spp3gp3vhna6********",
     "description": "WEB search async",
     "createdAt": "2024-10-02T19:14:41Z",
     "createdBy": "bfbud0oddqp4********",
     "modifiedAt": "2024-10-02T19:14:42Z"
   }
   

Run this gRPC call:

grpcurl \
  -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer <IAM_token>" \
  -d '{"operation_id": "<query_ID>"}' \
  operation.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 yandex.cloud.operation.OperationService/Get

Where:

• <IAM_token>: Previously obtained IAM token.
• <query_ID>: The Operation object ID you saved at the previous step.

Result:

{
  "id": "spp82pc07ebl********",
  "description": "WEB search async",
  "createdAt": "2024-10-03T08:07:07Z",
  "createdBy": "bfbud0oddqp4********",
  "modifiedAt": "2024-10-03T08:12:09Z",
  "done": true,
  "response": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/yandex.cloud.searchapi.v2.WebSearchResponse",
    "rawData": "<Base64_encoded_XML_response_body>"
  }
}
