How can I check the status of Azure AI Search indexes to see whether they are updated or not?

I am currently working on a use case involving the automation of uploading files to Azure Blob Storage. These files are then used by an Azure AI Search Indexer to vectorize the content and store it in an Azure AI Search Index. After that, I query the data using Azure models as part of a basic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) use case.

However, I’ve noticed that even after the indexer completes its job, the index itself takes some additional time to update. Is there any way to check the status of the index to confirm whether the data has been uploaded and indexed successfully? Currently, I’m using a test query to check the index status.

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    You could use the REST API to query the status of the indexer.

    GET {endpoint}/indexers('{indexerName}')/search.status?api-version=2024-07-01
    
    

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/searchservice/indexers/get-status?view=rest-searchservice-2024-07-01&tabs=HTTP
