Unable to call post api for semantic search

Question

Hello Team,

I tried to call post API for Azure cognitive search but got below error.
API : https://nae2uasrch0002.search.windows.net/indexes/na-claims-uat-100-characters/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30-preview

ERROR : {

"error": {

    "code": "",

    "message": "The request is invalid. Details: parameters : The parameter 'semanticConfiguration' in the request payload is not a valid parameter for the operation 'search'.\r\n"

}

}

PAYLOAD:
{
"search": "towing",

"queryType": "semantic",

"queryLanguage": "en-us",

"semanticConfiguration": "test_config"

}

But while I tried with "GET" method I can successfully call that API.

Thanks for asking question! If I am understanding right you are using 2020-06-30-Preview.

Could you please try upgrading to 2021-04-30-Preview and then using semanticConfiguration or use searchFields instead of semanticConfiguration.

As its mentioned in here:
