URI Parameters
| Parameter | Description |

| service name | Required. Set this to the unique, user-defined name of your search service. |

| api-version | Required. The current stable version is api-version=2020-06-30. See API versions for more versions. |
Request Headers
The following table describes the required and optional request headers.
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| Content-Type | Required. Set this to application/json |
| api-key | Optional if you're using Azure roles and a bearer token is provided on the request, otherwise a key is required. An api-key is a unique, system-generated string that authenticates the request to your search service. Get requests for an object definition must include an api-key field set to your admin key (as opposed to a query key). See Connect to Azure AI Search using key authentication for details. |
Request Body
None.
Response
Status Code: 200 OK is returned for a successful response.
The response is similar to examples in Create Synonym Map (Azure AI Search REST API).
{
"name" : "synonymmap1",
"format" : "solr",
"synonyms" : "United States, United States of America, USA\n
Washington, Wash. => WA",
"encryptionKey": null
}
Note
If the synonym map has an encryption key, the search service must have access to the encryption key to retrieve the synonym map definition. Without access to the encryption key, a 400 Bad Request is returned. Restoring access to the key allows the search service to retrieve the synonym map definition again.
