The Get Index Statistics operation returns from Azure Search a document count for the current index, plus storage usage. You can also get this information from the portal.
GET https://[service name].search.windows.net/indexes/[index name]/stats?api-version=[api-version]
api-key: [admin key]
Note
Statistics on document count and storage size are collected every few minutes, not in real time. Therefore, the statistics returned by this API may not reflect changes caused by recent indexing operations.

The [index name] in the request URI tells the service to return index statistics for the specified index.
The api-version parameter is required. The current version is api-version=2016-09-01. See API versions in Azure Search for a list of available versions.
