POST GetChildCareProviders

Send it a JSON like the examples below to search the database and recieve JSON of the rows.

{
    "FacilityType": "Childcare",
    "Latitude": 33.78356,
    "Longitude": -84.10318,

Use the Azure Function

Fork the Azure Function Repo to try it out or use it in another project. Note: You'll need to setup an Azure Search to use this "out of the box".

Add App Settings Keys

Open up the Application settings blade and add:

1. AzureSearchQueryKey
2. AzureSearchServiceName
3. AzureSearchIndex (which is the name of the index used)

Add Proxies to expose

Open up the Proxies tab and add new proxies with desired Routes, HTTP methods, and the Backend URL copied from the Azure Function URL (button at the top of each Function).
