Authentication

The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

Bearer auth (http)

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services

Get snapshot information Generally available; Added in 2.1.0

GET /_cat/snapshots/{repository}

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_cat/snapshots

GET /_cat/snapshots/{repository}

Get information about the snapshots stored in one or more repositories. A snapshot is a backup of an index or running Elasticsearch cluster. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get snapshot API.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: monitor_snapshot

Path parameters

  • repository string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of snapshot repositories used to limit the request. Accepts wildcard expressions. _all returns all repositories. If any repository fails during the request, Elasticsearch returns an error.

Query parameters

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If true, the response does not include information from unavailable snapshots.

  • h string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list of columns names to display. It supports simple wildcards.

    Supported values include:

    • id (or snapshot): The ID of the snapshot, such as 'snap1'.
    • repository (or re, repo): The name of the repository, such as 'repo1'.
    • status (or s): State of the snapshot process. Returned values are: 'FAILED': The snapshot process failed. 'INCOMPATIBLE': The snapshot process is incompatible with the current cluster version. 'IN_PROGRESS': The snapshot process started but has not completed. 'PARTIAL': The snapshot process completed with a partial success. 'SUCCESS': The snapshot process completed with a full success.
    • start_epoch (or ste, startEpoch): The unix epoch time at which the snapshot process started.
    • start_time (or sti, startTime): 'HH:MM:SS' time at which the snapshot process started.
    • end_epoch (or ete, endEpoch): The unix epoch time at which the snapshot process ended.
    • end_time (or eti, endTime): 'HH:MM:SS' time at which the snapshot process ended.
    • duration (or dur): The time it took the snapshot process to complete in time units.
    • indices (or i): The number of indices in the snapshot.
    • successful_shards (or ss): The number of successful shards in the snapshot.
    • failed_shards (or fs): The number of failed shards in the snapshot.
    • total_shards (or ts): The total number of shards in the snapshot.
    • reason (or r): The reason for any snapshot failures.

    Values are id, snapshot, repository, re, repo, status, s, start_epoch, ste, startEpoch, start_time, sti, startTime, end_epoch, ete, endEpoch, end_time, eti, endTime, duration, dur, indices, i, successful_shards, ss, failed_shards, fs, total_shards, ts, reason, or r.

  • s string | array[string]

    List of columns that determine how the table should be sorted. Sorting defaults to ascending and can be changed by setting :asc or :desc as a suffix to the column name.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • time string

    Unit used to display time values.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

Responses

  • 200 application/json
    Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • id string

      The unique identifier for the snapshot.

    • repository string

      The repository name.

    • status string

      The state of the snapshot process. Returned values include: FAILED: The snapshot process failed. INCOMPATIBLE: The snapshot process is incompatible with the current cluster version. IN_PROGRESS: The snapshot process started but has not completed. PARTIAL: The snapshot process completed with a partial success. SUCCESS: The snapshot process completed with a full success.

    • start_epoch number | string

      Some APIs will return values such as numbers also as a string (notably epoch timestamps). This behavior is used to capture this behavior while keeping the semantics of the field type.

      Depending on the target language, code generators can keep the union or remove it and leniently parse strings to the target type.

      One of:

      Time unit for seconds

    • start_time string | object

      A time of day, expressed either as hh:mm, noon, midnight, or an hour/minutes structure.

Clear cluster voting config exclusions Generally available; Added in 7.0.0

DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions

Remove master-eligible nodes from the voting configuration exclusion list.

External documentation

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • wait_for_removal boolean

    Specifies whether to wait for all excluded nodes to be removed from the cluster before clearing the voting configuration exclusions list. Defaults to true, meaning that all excluded nodes must be removed from the cluster before this API takes any action. If set to false then the voting configuration exclusions list is cleared even if some excluded nodes are still in the cluster.

 --header "Authorization: $API_KEY"




Update the cluster settings Generally available

PUT /_cluster/settings

Configure and update dynamic settings on a running cluster. You can also configure dynamic settings locally on an unstarted or shut down node in elasticsearch.yml.

Updates made with this API can be persistent, which apply across cluster restarts, or transient, which reset after a cluster restart. You can also reset transient or persistent settings by assigning them a null value.

If you configure the same setting using multiple methods, Elasticsearch applies the settings in following order of precedence: 1) Transient setting; 2) Persistent setting; 3) elasticsearch.yml setting; 4) Default setting value. For example, you can apply a transient setting to override a persistent setting or elasticsearch.yml setting. However, a change to an elasticsearch.yml setting will not override a defined transient or persistent setting.

TIP: In Elastic Cloud, use the user settings feature to configure all cluster settings. This method automatically rejects unsafe settings that could break your cluster. If you run Elasticsearch on your own hardware, use this API to configure dynamic cluster settings. Only use elasticsearch.yml for static cluster settings and node settings. The API doesn’t require a restart and ensures a setting’s value is the same on all nodes.

WARNING: Transient cluster settings are no longer recommended. Use persistent cluster settings instead. If a cluster becomes unstable, transient settings can clear unexpectedly, resulting in a potentially undesired cluster configuration.

External documentation

Query parameters

  • flat_settings boolean

    Return settings in flat format (default: false)

  • master_timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout for connection to master node

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout

PUT `/_cluster/settings` to update the `action.auto_create_index` setting. The setting accepts a comma-separated list of patterns that you want to allow or you can prefix each pattern with `+` or `-` to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked. In this example, the auto-creation of indices called `my-index-000001` or `index10` is allowed, the creation of indices that match the pattern `index1*` is blocked, and the creation of any other indices that match the `ind*` pattern is allowed. Patterns are matched in the order specified.

Claim a connector sync job Technical preview

PUT /_connector/_sync_job/{connector_sync_job_id}/_claim

This action updates the job status to in_progress and sets the last_seen and started_at timestamps to the current time. Additionally, it can set the sync_cursor property for the sync job.

This API is not intended for direct connector management by users. It supports the implementation of services that utilize the connector protocol to communicate with Elasticsearch.

To sync data using self-managed connectors, you need to deploy the Elastic connector service on your own infrastructure. This service runs automatically on Elastic Cloud for Elastic managed connectors.

Path parameters

  • connector_sync_job_id string Required

    The unique identifier of the connector sync job.

application/json

Body Required

  • sync_cursor object

    The cursor object from the last incremental sync job. This should reference the sync_cursor field in the connector state for which the job runs.

  • worker_hostname string Required

    The host name of the current system that will run the job.

Create or update auto-follow patterns Generally available; Added in 6.5.0

PUT /_ccr/auto_follow/{name}

Create a collection of cross-cluster replication auto-follow patterns for a remote cluster. Newly created indices on the remote cluster that match any of the patterns are automatically configured as follower indices. Indices on the remote cluster that were created before the auto-follow pattern was created will not be auto-followed even if they match the pattern.

This API can also be used to update auto-follow patterns. NOTE: Follower indices that were configured automatically before updating an auto-follow pattern will remain unchanged even if they do not match against the new patterns.

External documentation

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    The name of the collection of auto-follow patterns.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Body Required

  • remote_cluster string Required

    The remote cluster containing the leader indices to match against.

  • follow_index_pattern string
  • leader_index_patterns array[string]
  • leader_index_exclusion_patterns array[string]
  • max_outstanding_read_requests number

    The maximum number of outstanding reads requests from the remote cluster.

    Default value is 12.

  • settings object

Promote a data stream Generally available; Added in 7.9.0

POST /_data_stream/_promote/{name}

Promote a data stream from a replicated data stream managed by cross-cluster replication (CCR) to a regular data stream.

With CCR auto following, a data stream from a remote cluster can be replicated to the local cluster. These data streams can't be rolled over in the local cluster. These replicated data streams roll over only if the upstream data stream rolls over. In the event that the remote cluster is no longer available, the data stream in the local cluster can be promoted to a regular data stream, which allows these data streams to be rolled over in the local cluster.

NOTE: When promoting a data stream, ensure the local cluster has a data stream enabled index template that matches the data stream. If this is missing, the data stream will not be able to roll over until a matching index template is created. This will affect the lifecycle management of the data stream and interfere with the data stream size and retention.

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    The name of the data stream

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Get multiple documents Generally available; Added in 1.3.0

POST /{index}/_mget

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_mget

POST /_mget
GET /{index}/_mget
POST /{index}/_mget

Get multiple JSON documents by ID from one or more indices. If you specify an index in the request URI, you only need to specify the document IDs in the request body. To ensure fast responses, this multi get (mget) API responds with partial results if one or more shards fail.

Filter source fields

By default, the _source field is returned for every document (if stored). Use the _source and _source_include or source_exclude attributes to filter what fields are returned for a particular document. You can include the _source, _source_includes, and _source_excludes query parameters in the request URI to specify the defaults to use when there are no per-document instructions.

Get stored fields

Use the stored_fields attribute to specify the set of stored fields you want to retrieve. Any requested fields that are not stored are ignored. You can include the stored_fields query parameter in the request URI to specify the defaults to use when there are no per-document instructions.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: read

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    Name of the index to retrieve documents from when ids are specified, or when a document in the docs array does not specify an index.

Query parameters

  • preference string

    Specifies the node or shard the operation should be performed on. Random by default.

  • realtime boolean

    If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.

  • refresh boolean

    If true, the request refreshes relevant shards before retrieving documents.

  • routing string

    Custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • _source boolean | string | array[string]

    True or false to return the _source field or not, or a list of fields to return.

  • _source_excludes string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude from the response. You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter.

  • _source_includes string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response. If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned. You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter. If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.

Get term vector information Generally available

POST /{index}/_termvectors/{id}

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /{index}/_termvectors

POST /{index}/_termvectors
GET /{index}/_termvectors/{id}
POST /{index}/_termvectors/{id}

Get information and statistics about terms in the fields of a particular document.

You can retrieve term vectors for documents stored in the index or for artificial documents passed in the body of the request. You can specify the fields you are interested in through the fields parameter or by adding the fields to the request body. For example:

GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1?fields=message

Fields can be specified using wildcards, similar to the multi match query.

Term vectors are real-time by default, not near real-time. This can be changed by setting realtime parameter to false.

You can request three types of values: term information, term statistics, and field statistics. By default, all term information and field statistics are returned for all fields but term statistics are excluded.

Term information

  • term frequency in the field (always returned)
  • term positions (positions: true)
  • start and end offsets (offsets: true)
  • term payloads (payloads: true), as base64 encoded bytes

If the requested information wasn't stored in the index, it will be computed on the fly if possible. Additionally, term vectors could be computed for documents not even existing in the index, but instead provided by the user.


Start and end offsets assume UTF-16 encoding is being used. If you want to use these offsets in order to get the original text that produced this token, you should make sure that the string you are taking a sub-string of is also encoded using UTF-16.

Behaviour

The term and field statistics are not accurate. Deleted documents are not taken into account. The information is only retrieved for the shard the requested document resides in. The term and field statistics are therefore only useful as relative measures whereas the absolute numbers have no meaning in this context. By default, when requesting term vectors of artificial documents, a shard to get the statistics from is randomly selected. Use routing only to hit a particular shard. Refer to the linked documentation for detailed examples of how to use this API.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: read
External documentation

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    The name of the index that contains the document.

  • id string Required

    A unique identifier for the document.

Query parameters

  • fields string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in the statistics. It is used as the default list unless a specific field list is provided in the completion_fields or fielddata_fields parameters.

  • field_statistics boolean

    If true, the response includes:

    • The document count (how many documents contain this field).
    • The sum of document frequencies (the sum of document frequencies for all terms in this field).
    • The sum of total term frequencies (the sum of total term frequencies of each term in this field).
  • offsets boolean

    If true, the response includes term offsets.

  • payloads boolean

    If true, the response includes term payloads.

  • positions boolean

    If true, the response includes term positions.

  • preference string

    The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.

  • realtime boolean

    If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.

  • routing string

    A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • term_statistics boolean

    If true, the response includes:

    • The total term frequency (how often a term occurs in all documents).
    • The document frequency (the number of documents containing the current term).

    By default these values are not returned since term statistics can have a serious performance impact.

  • version number

    If true, returns the document version as part of a hit.

  • version_type string

    The version type.

    Supported values include:

    • internal: Use internal versioning that starts at 1 and increments with each update or delete.
    • external: Only index the document if the specified version is strictly higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document.
    • external_gte: Only index the document if the specified version is equal or higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document. NOTE: The external_gte version type is meant for special use cases and should be used with care. If used incorrectly, it can result in loss of data.
    • force: This option is deprecated because it can cause primary and replica shards to diverge.

    Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.

application/json

Body

  • doc object

    An artificial document (a document not present in the index) for which you want to retrieve term vectors.

      Ignore words which occur in more than this many docs. Defaults to unbounded.

    • max_num_terms number

      The maximum number of terms that must be returned per field.

      Default value is 25.

    • max_term_freq number

      Ignore words with more than this frequency in the source doc. It defaults to unbounded.

    • max_word_length number

      The maximum word length above which words will be ignored. Defaults to unbounded.

    • min_word_length number

      The minimum word length below which words will be ignored.

      Default value is 0.

  • per_field_analyzer object

    Override the default per-field analyzer. This is useful in order to generate term vectors in any fashion, especially when using artificial documents. When providing an analyzer for a field that already stores term vectors, the term vectors will be regenerated.

Get EQL search results Generally available; Added in 7.9.0

POST /{index}/_eql/search

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /{index}/_eql/search

POST /{index}/_eql/search

Returns search results for an Event Query Language (EQL) query. EQL assumes each document in a data stream or index corresponds to an event.

External documentation

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    The name of the index to scope the operation

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)

  • allow_partial_search_results boolean

    If true, returns partial results if there are shard failures. If false, returns an error with no partial results.

  • allow_partial_sequence_results boolean

    If true, sequence queries will return partial results in case of shard failures. If false, they will return no results at all. This flag has effect only if allow_partial_search_results is true.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
    • none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

    Period for which the search and its results are stored on the cluster.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • keep_on_completion boolean

    If true, the search and its results are stored on the cluster.

  • wait_for_completion_timeout string

    Timeout duration to wait for the request to finish. Defaults to no timeout, meaning the request waits for complete search results.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Run an async ES|QL query Generally available; Added in 8.13.0

POST /_query/async

Asynchronously run an ES|QL (Elasticsearch query language) query, monitor its progress, and retrieve results when they become available.

The API accepts the same parameters and request body as the synchronous query API, along with additional async related properties.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: read
External documentation

Query parameters

  • allow_partial_results boolean

    If true, partial results will be returned if there are shard failures, but the query can continue to execute on other clusters and shards. If false, the query will fail if there are any failures.

    To override the default behavior, you can set the esql.query.allow_partial_results cluster setting to false.

  • delimiter string

    The character to use between values within a CSV row. It is valid only for the CSV format.

  • drop_null_columns boolean

    Indicates whether columns that are entirely null will be removed from the columns and values portion of the results. If true, the response will include an extra section under the name all_columns which has the name of all the columns.

  • format string

    A short version of the Accept header, for example json or yaml.

    Values are csv, json, tsv, txt, yaml, cbor, smile, or arrow.

application/json

Body Required

  • columnar boolean

    By default, ES|QL returns results as rows. For example, FROM returns each individual document as one row. For the JSON, YAML, CBOR and smile formats, ES|QL can return the results in a columnar fashion where one row represents all the values of a certain column in the results.

  • filter object

    An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.

    External documentation
  • locale string
  • params array[number | string | boolean | null]

    To avoid any attempts of hacking or code injection, extract the values in a separate list of parameters. Use question mark placeholders (?) in the query string for each of the parameters.

  • profile boolean

    If provided and true the response will include an extra profile object with information on how the query was executed. This information is for human debugging and its format can change at any time but it can give some insight into the performance of each part of the query.

  • query string Required

    The ES|QL query API accepts an ES|QL query string in the query parameter, runs it, and returns the results.

  • tables object

    Tables to use with the LOOKUP operation. The top level key is the table name and the next level key is the column name.

    Hide tables attribute Show tables attribute object
  • include_ccs_metadata boolean

    When set to true and performing a cross-cluster query, the response will include an extra _clusters object with information about the clusters that participated in the search along with info such as shards count.

    Default value is false.

  • wait_for_completion_timeout string

    A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

  • keep_alive string

    A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

  • keep_on_completion boolean

    Indicates whether the query and its results are stored in the cluster. If false, the query and its results are stored in the cluster only if the request does not complete during the period set by the wait_for_completion_timeout parameter.

    Default value is false.

Run an ES|QL query Generally available; Added in 8.11.0

POST /_query

Get search results for an ES|QL (Elasticsearch query language) query.

External documentation

Query parameters

  • format string

    A short version of the Accept header, e.g. json, yaml.

    Values are csv, json, tsv, txt, yaml, cbor, smile, or arrow.

  • delimiter string

    The character to use between values within a CSV row. Only valid for the CSV format.

  • drop_null_columns boolean

    Should columns that are entirely null be removed from the columns and values portion of the results? Defaults to false. If true then the response will include an extra section under the name all_columns which has the name of all columns.

  • allow_partial_results boolean

    If true, partial results will be returned if there are shard failures, but the query can continue to execute on other clusters and shards. If false, the query will fail if there are any failures.

    To override the default behavior, you can set the esql.query.allow_partial_results cluster setting to false.

application/json

Body Required

  • columnar boolean

    By default, ES|QL returns results as rows. For example, FROM returns each individual document as one row. For the JSON, YAML, CBOR and smile formats, ES|QL can return the results in a columnar fashion where one row represents all the values of a certain column in the results.

  • filter object

    An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.

    External documentation
  • locale string
  • params array[number | string | boolean | null]

    To avoid any attempts of hacking or code injection, extract the values in a separate list of parameters. Use question mark placeholders (?) in the query string for each of the parameters.

  • profile boolean

    If provided and true the response will include an extra profile object with information on how the query was executed. This information is for human debugging and its format can change at any time but it can give some insight into the performance of each part of the query.

  • query string Required

    The ES|QL query API accepts an ES|QL query string in the query parameter, runs it, and returns the results.

  • tables object

    Tables to use with the LOOKUP operation. The top level key is the table name and the next level key is the column name.

    Hide tables attribute Show tables attribute object
  • include_ccs_metadata boolean

    When set to true and performing a cross-cluster query, the response will include an extra _clusters object with information about the clusters that participated in the search along with info such as shards count.

    Default value is false.

Explore graph analytics Generally available

POST /{index}/_graph/explore

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /{index}/_graph/explore

POST /{index}/_graph/explore

Extract and summarize information about the documents and terms in an Elasticsearch data stream or index. The easiest way to understand the behavior of this API is to use the Graph UI to explore connections. An initial request to the _explore API contains a seed query that identifies the documents of interest and specifies the fields that define the vertices and connections you want to include in the graph. Subsequent requests enable you to spider out from one more vertices of interest. You can exclude vertices that have already been returned.

External documentation

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Name of the index.

Query parameters

  • routing string

    Custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • timeout string

    Specifies the period of time to wait for a response from each shard. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to no timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.

      Hide vertices attributes Show vertices attributes object
      • exclude array[string]

        Prevents the specified terms from being included in the results.

      • field string Required

        Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

      • include array[object]

        • term string Required
      • min_doc_count number

        Specifies how many documents must contain a pair of terms before it is considered to be a useful connection. This setting acts as a certainty threshold.

        Default value is 3.

      • shard_min_doc_count number

        Controls how many documents on a particular shard have to contain a pair of terms before the connection is returned for global consideration.

        Default value is 2.

Create or update a component template Generally available; Added in 7.8.0

POST /_component_template/{name}

All methods and paths for this operation:

PUT /_component_template/{name}

POST /_component_template/{name}

Component templates are building blocks for constructing index templates that specify index mappings, settings, and aliases.

An index template can be composed of multiple component templates. To use a component template, specify it in an index template’s composed_of list. Component templates are only applied to new data streams and indices as part of a matching index template.

Settings and mappings specified directly in the index template or the create index request override any settings or mappings specified in a component template.

Component templates are only used during index creation. For data streams, this includes data stream creation and the creation of a stream’s backing indices. Changes to component templates do not affect existing indices, including a stream’s backing indices.

You can use C-style /* *\/ block comments in component templates. You can include comments anywhere in the request body except before the opening curly bracket.

Applying component templates

You cannot directly apply a component template to a data stream or index. To be applied, a component template must be included in an index template's composed_of list.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: manage_index_templates

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    Name of the component template to create. Elasticsearch includes the following built-in component templates: logs-mappings; logs-settings; metrics-mappings; metrics-settings;synthetics-mapping; synthetics-settings. Elastic Agent uses these templates to configure backing indices for its data streams. If you use Elastic Agent and want to overwrite one of these templates, set the version for your replacement template higher than the current version. If you don’t use Elastic Agent and want to disable all built-in component and index templates, set stack.templates.enabled to false using the cluster update settings API.

Query parameters

  • create boolean

    If true, this request cannot replace or update existing component templates.

  • cause string

    User defined reason for create the component template.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

POST /{index}/_aliases/{name}

Adds a data stream or index to an alias.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams or indices to add. Supports wildcards (*). Wildcard patterns that match both data streams and indices return an error.

  • name string Required

    Alias to update. If the alias doesn’t exist, the request creates it. Index alias names support date math.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

application/json

Body

  • filter object

    An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.

    External documentation
  • index_routing string
  • is_write_index boolean

    If true, sets the write index or data stream for the alias. If an alias points to multiple indices or data streams and is_write_index isn’t set, the alias rejects write requests. If an index alias points to one index and is_write_index isn’t set, the index automatically acts as the write index. Data stream aliases don’t automatically set a write data stream, even if the alias points to one data stream.

Analyze the index disk usage Technical preview; Added in 7.15.0

POST /{index}/_disk_usage

Analyze the disk usage of each field of an index or data stream. This API might not support indices created in previous Elasticsearch versions. The result of a small index can be inaccurate as some parts of an index might not be analyzed by the API.

NOTE: The total size of fields of the analyzed shards of the index in the response is usually smaller than the index store_size value because some small metadata files are ignored and some parts of data files might not be scanned by the API. Since stored fields are stored together in a compressed format, the sizes of stored fields are also estimates and can be inaccurate. The stored size of the _id field is likely underestimated while the _source field is overestimated.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. It’s recommended to execute this API with a single index (or the latest backing index of a data stream) as the API consumes resources significantly.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
    • none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • flush boolean

    If true, the API performs a flush before analysis. If false, the response may not include uncommitted data.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If true, missing or closed indices are not included in the response.

  • run_expensive_tasks boolean

    Analyzing field disk usage is resource-intensive. To use the API, this parameter must be set to true.

Get field usage stats Technical preview; Added in 7.15.0

GET /{index}/_field_usage_stats

Get field usage information for each shard and field of an index. Field usage statistics are automatically captured when queries are running on a cluster. A shard-level search request that accesses a given field, even if multiple times during that request, is counted as a single use.

The response body reports the per-shard usage count of the data structures that back the fields in the index. A given request will increment each count by a maximum value of 1, even if the request accesses the same field multiple times.

Flush data streams or indices Generally available

GET /{index}/_flush

All methods and paths for this operation:

POST /_flush

GET /_flush
POST /{index}/_flush
GET /{index}/_flush

Flushing a data stream or index is the process of making sure that any data that is currently only stored in the transaction log is also permanently stored in the Lucene index. When restarting, Elasticsearch replays any unflushed operations from the transaction log into the Lucene index to bring it back into the state that it was in before the restart. Elasticsearch automatically triggers flushes as needed, using heuristics that trade off the size of the unflushed transaction log against the cost of performing each flush.

After each operation has been flushed it is permanently stored in the Lucene index. This may mean that there is no need to maintain an additional copy of it in the transaction log. The transaction log is made up of multiple files, called generations, and Elasticsearch will delete any generation files when they are no longer needed, freeing up disk space.

It is also possible to trigger a flush on one or more indices using the flush API, although it is rare for users to need to call this API directly. If you call the flush API after indexing some documents then a successful response indicates that Elasticsearch has flushed all the documents that were indexed before the flush API was called.

Required authorization

Force a merge Generally available; Added in 2.1.0

POST /{index}/_forcemerge

All methods and paths for this operation:

POST /_forcemerge

POST /{index}/_forcemerge

Perform the force merge operation on the shards of one or more indices. For data streams, the API forces a merge on the shards of the stream's backing indices.

Merging reduces the number of segments in each shard by merging some of them together and also frees up the space used by deleted documents. Merging normally happens automatically, but sometimes it is useful to trigger a merge manually.

WARNING: We recommend force merging only a read-only index (meaning the index is no longer receiving writes). When documents are updated or deleted, the old version is not immediately removed but instead soft-deleted and marked with a "tombstone". These soft-deleted documents are automatically cleaned up during regular segment merges. But force merge can cause very large (greater than 5 GB) segments to be produced, which are not eligible for regular merges. So the number of soft-deleted documents can then grow rapidly, resulting in higher disk usage and worse search performance. If you regularly force merge an index receiving writes, this can also make snapshots more expensive, since the new documents can't be backed up incrementally.

Blocks during a force merge

Calls to this API block until the merge is complete (unless request contains wait_for_completion=false). If the client connection is lost before completion then the force merge process will continue in the background. Any new requests to force merge the same indices will also block until the ongoing force merge is complete.

Running force merge asynchronously

If the request contains wait_for_completion=false, Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task you can use to get the status of the task. However, you can not cancel this task as the force merge task is not cancelable. Elasticsearch creates a record of this task as a document at _tasks/<task_id>. When you are done with a task, you should delete the task document so Elasticsearch can reclaim the space.

Force merging multiple indices

You can force merge multiple indices with a single request by targeting:

  • One or more data streams that contain multiple backing indices
  • Multiple indices
  • One or more aliases
  • All data streams and indices in a cluster

Each targeted shard is force-merged separately using the force_merge threadpool. By default each node only has a single force_merge thread which means that the shards on that node are force-merged one at a time. If you expand the force_merge threadpool on a node then it will force merge its shards in parallel

Force merge makes the storage for the shard being merged temporarily increase, as it may require free space up to triple its size in case max_num_segments parameter is set to 1, to rewrite all segments into a new one.

Data streams and time-based indices

Force-merging is useful for managing a data stream's older backing indices and other time-based indices, particularly after a rollover. In these cases, each index only receives indexing traffic for a certain period of time. Once an index receive no more writes, its shards can be force-merged to a single segment. This can be a good idea because single-segment shards can sometimes use simpler and more efficient data structures to perform searches. For example:

POST /.ds-my-data-stream-2099.03.07-000001/_forcemerge?max_num_segments=1

Get index recovery information Generally available

GET /{index}/_recovery

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_recovery

GET /{index}/_recovery

Get information about ongoing and completed shard recoveries for one or more indices. For data streams, the API returns information for the stream's backing indices.

All recoveries, whether ongoing or complete, are kept in the cluster state and may be reported on at any time.

Shard recovery is the process of initializing a shard copy, such as restoring a primary shard from a snapshot or creating a replica shard from a primary shard. When a shard recovery completes, the recovered shard is available for search and indexing.

Recovery automatically occurs during the following processes:

  • When creating an index for the first time.
  • When a node rejoins the cluster and starts up any missing primary shard copies using the data that it holds in its data path.
  • Creation of new replica shard copies from the primary.
  • Relocation of a shard copy to a different node in the same cluster.
  • A snapshot restore operation.
  • A clone, shrink, or split operation.

You can determine the cause of a shard recovery using the recovery or cat recovery APIs.

The index recovery API reports information about completed recoveries only for shard copies that currently exist in the cluster. It only reports the last recovery for each shard copy and does not report historical information about earlier recoveries, nor does it report information about the recoveries of shard copies that no longer exist. This means that if a shard copy completes a recovery and then Elasticsearch relocates it onto a different node then the information about the original recovery will not be shown in the recovery API.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: monitor

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • active_only boolean

    If true, the response only includes ongoing shard recoveries.

  • detailed boolean

    If true, the response includes detailed information about shard recoveries.

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
    • none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

Roll over to a new index Generally available; Added in 5.0.0

POST /{alias}/_rollover/{new_index}

All methods and paths for this operation:

POST /{alias}/_rollover

POST /{alias}/_rollover/{new_index}

TIP: It is recommended to use the index lifecycle rollover action to automate rollovers.

The rollover API creates a new index for a data stream or index alias. The API behavior depends on the rollover target.

Roll over a data stream

If you roll over a data stream, the API creates a new write index for the stream. The stream's previous write index becomes a regular backing index. A rollover also increments the data stream's generation.

Roll over an index alias with a write index

TIP: Prior to Elasticsearch 7.9, you'd typically use an index alias with a write index to manage time series data. Data streams replace this functionality, require less maintenance, and automatically integrate with data tiers.

If an index alias points to multiple indices, one of the indices must be a write index. The rollover API creates a new write index for the alias with is_write_index set to true. The API also sets is_write_index to false for the previous write index.

Roll over an index alias with one index

If you roll over an index alias that points to only one index, the API creates a new index for the alias and removes the original index from the alias.

NOTE: A rollover creates a new index and is subject to the wait_for_active_shards setting.

Increment index names for an alias

When you roll over an index alias, you can specify a name for the new index. If you don't specify a name and the current index ends with - and a number, such as my-index-000001 or my-index-3, the new index name increments that number. For example, if you roll over an alias with a current index of my-index-000001, the rollover creates a new index named my-index-000002. This number is always six characters and zero-padded, regardless of the previous index's name.

If you use an index alias for time series data, you can use date math in the index name to track the rollover date. For example, you can create an alias that points to an index named <my-index-{now/d}-000001>. If you create the index on May 6, 2099, the index's name is my-index-2099.05.06-000001. If you roll over the alias on May 7, 2099, the new index's name is my-index-2099.05.07-000002.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: manage

Path parameters

  • alias string

    Name of the data stream or index alias to roll over.

  • new_index string Required

    Name of the index to create. Supports date math. Data streams do not support this parameter.

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean

    If true, checks whether the current index satisfies the specified conditions but does not perform a rollover.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).

    Values are all or index-setting.

  • lazy boolean

    If set to true, the rollover action will only mark a data stream to signal that it needs to be rolled over at the next write. Only allowed on data streams.

Get index shard stores Generally available

GET /{index}/_shard_stores

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_shard_stores

GET /{index}/_shard_stores

Get store information about replica shards in one or more indices. For data streams, the API retrieves store information for the stream's backing indices.

The index shard stores API returns the following information:

  • The node on which each replica shard exists.
  • The allocation ID for each replica shard.
  • A unique ID for each replica shard.
  • Any errors encountered while opening the shard index or from an earlier failure.

By default, the API returns store information only for primary shards that are unassigned or have one or more unassigned replica shards.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: monitor

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    List of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
    • none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If true, missing or closed indices are not included in the response.

  • status string | array[string]

    List of shard health statuses used to limit the request.

    Supported values include:

    • green: The primary shard and all replica shards are assigned.
    • yellow: One or more replica shards are unassigned.
    • red: The primary shard is unassigned.
    • all: Return all shards, regardless of health status.

    Values are green, yellow, red, or all.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: view_index_metadata,manage_ilm

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to target. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • only_errors boolean

    Filters the returned indices to only indices that are managed by ILM and are in an error state, either due to an encountering an error while executing the policy, or attempting to use a policy that does not exist.

  • only_managed boolean

    Filters the returned indices to only indices that are managed by ILM.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Migrate to data tiers routing Generally available; Added in 7.14.0

POST /_ilm/migrate_to_data_tiers

Switch the indices, ILM policies, and legacy, composable, and component templates from using custom node attributes and attribute-based allocation filters to using data tiers. Optionally, delete one legacy index template. Using node roles enables ILM to automatically move the indices between data tiers.

Migrating away from custom node attributes routing can be manually performed. This API provides an automated way of performing three out of the four manual steps listed in the migration guide:

  1. Stop setting the custom hot attribute on new indices.
  2. Remove custom allocation settings from existing ILM policies.
  3. Replace custom allocation settings from existing indices with the corresponding tier preference.

ILM must be stopped before performing the migration. Use the stop ILM and get ILM status APIs to wait until the reported operation mode is STOPPED.

External documentation

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean

    If true, simulates the migration from node attributes based allocation filters to data tiers, but does not perform the migration. This provides a way to retrieve the indices and ILM policies that need to be migrated.

  • master_timeout string

    The period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. It can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Perform inference on the service Generally available; Added in 8.11.0

POST /_inference/{task_type}/{inference_id}

All methods and paths for this operation:

POST /_inference/{inference_id}

POST /_inference/{task_type}/{inference_id}

This API enables you to use machine learning models to perform specific tasks on data that you provide as an input. It returns a response with the results of the tasks. The inference endpoint you use can perform one specific task that has been defined when the endpoint was created with the create inference API.

For details about using this API with a service, such as Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, or HuggingFace, refer to the service-specific documentation.


The inference APIs enable you to use certain services, such as built-in machine learning models (ELSER, E5), models uploaded through Eland, Cohere, OpenAI, Azure, Google AI Studio, Google Vertex AI, Anthropic, Watsonx.ai, or Hugging Face. For built-in models and models uploaded through Eland, the inference APIs offer an alternative way to use and manage trained models. However, if you do not plan to use the inference APIs to use these models or if you want to use non-NLP models, use the machine learning trained model APIs.

Create a custom inference endpoint Generally available; Added in 8.13.0

PUT /_inference/{task_type}/{custom_inference_id}

The custom service gives more control over how to interact with external inference services that aren't explicitly supported through dedicated integrations. The custom service gives you the ability to define the headers, url, query parameters, request body, and secrets. The custom service supports the template replacement functionality, which enables you to define a template that can be replaced with the value associated with that key. Templates are portions of a string that start with ${ and end with }. The parameters secret_parameters and task_settings are checked for keys for template replacement. Template replacement is supported in the request, headers, url, and query_parameters. If the definition (key) is not found for a template, an error message is returned. In case of an endpoint definition like the following:

PUT _inference/text_embedding/test-text-embedding
{
  "service": "custom",
  "service_settings": {
     "secret_parameters": {
          "api_key": "<some api key>"
     },
     "url": "...endpoints.huggingface.cloud/v1/embeddings",
     "headers": {
         "Authorization": "Bearer ${api_key}",
         "Content-Type": "application/json"
     },
     "request": "{\"input\": ${input}}",
     "response": {
         "json_parser": {
             "text_embeddings":"$.data[*].embedding[*]"
         }
     }
  }
}

To replace ${api_key} the secret_parameters and task_settings are checked for a key named api_key.


Templates should not be surrounded by quotes.

Pre-defined templates:

  • ${input} refers to the array of input strings that comes from the input field of the subsequent inference requests.
  • ${input_type} refers to the input type translation values.
  • ${query} refers to the query field used specifically for reranking tasks.
  • ${top_n} refers to the top_n field available when performing rerank requests.
  • ${return_documents} refers to the return_documents field available when performing rerank requests.

        Each string can be a plain string or a regular expression (regex) pattern. The system tries each separator in order to split the text, starting from the first item in the list.

        After splitting, it attempts to recombine smaller pieces into larger chunks that stay within the max_chunk_size limit, to reduce the total number of chunks generated.

      • strategy string

        The chunking strategy: sentence, word, none or recursive.

        • If strategy is set to recursive, you must also specify:

          • max_chunk_size
          • either separators orseparator_group

        Learn more about different chunking strategies in the linked documentation.

        Default value is sentence.

Cancel node shutdown preparations Generally available; Added in 7.13.0

DELETE /_nodes/{node_id}/shutdown

Remove a node from the shutdown list so it can resume normal operations. You must explicitly clear the shutdown request when a node rejoins the cluster or when a node has permanently left the cluster. Shutdown requests are never removed automatically by Elasticsearch.

NOTE: This feature is designed for indirect use by Elastic Cloud, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes. Direct use is not supported.

If the operator privileges feature is enabled, you must be an operator to use this API.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: manage

Path parameters

  • node_id string Required

    The node id of node to be removed from the shutdown state

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

Search

Get async search results Generally available; Added in 7.7.0

GET /_async_search/{id}

Retrieve the results of a previously submitted asynchronous search request. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, access to the results of a specific async search is restricted to the user or API key that submitted it.

Path parameters

  • id string

    A unique identifier for the async search.

Query parameters

  • keep_alive string

    The length of time that the async search should be available in the cluster. When not specified, the keep_alive set with the corresponding submit async request will be used. Otherwise, it is possible to override the value and extend the validity of the request. When this period expires, the search, if still running, is cancelled. If the search is completed, its saved results are deleted.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • typed_keys boolean

    Specify whether aggregation and suggester names should be prefixed by their respective types in the response

  • wait_for_completion_timeout string

    Specifies to wait for the search to be completed up until the provided timeout. Final results will be returned if available before the timeout expires, otherwise the currently available results will be returned once the timeout expires. By default no timeout is set meaning that the currently available results will be returned without any additional wait.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Responses

  • 200 application/json
    Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • id string

Get the async search status Generally available; Added in 7.11.0

GET /_async_search/status/{id}

Get the status of a previously submitted async search request given its identifier, without retrieving search results. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, the access to the status of a specific async search is restricted to:

  • The user or API key that submitted the original async search request.
  • Users that have the monitor cluster privilege or greater privileges.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: monitor

Path parameters

  • id string Required

    A unique identifier for the async search.

Query parameters

  • keep_alive string

    The length of time that the async search needs to be available. Ongoing async searches and any saved search results are deleted after this period.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Responses

Count search results Generally available

GET /{index}/_count

All methods and paths for this operation:

POST /_count

GET /_count
POST /{index}/_count
GET /{index}/_count

Get the number of documents matching a query.

The query can be provided either by using a simple query string as a parameter, or by defining Query DSL within the request body. The query is optional. When no query is provided, the API uses match_all to count all the documents.

The count API supports multi-target syntax. You can run a single count API search across multiple data streams and indices.

The operation is broadcast across all shards. For each shard ID group, a replica is chosen and the search is run against it. This means that replicas increase the scalability of the count.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: read

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search. It supports wildcards (*). To search all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • analyzer string

    The analyzer to use for the query string. This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.

  • analyze_wildcard boolean

    If true, wildcard and prefix queries are analyzed. This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.

  • default_operator string

    The default operator for query string query: AND or OR. This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.

    Values are and, AND, or, or OR.

  • df string

    The field to use as a default when no field prefix is given in the query string. This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    The type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. It supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
    • none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • ignore_throttled boolean Deprecated

    If true, concrete, expanded, or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • lenient boolean

    If true, format-based query failures (such as providing text to a numeric field) in the query string will be ignored. This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.

  • min_score number

    The minimum _score value that documents must have to be included in the result.

  • preference string

    The node or shard the operation should be performed on. By default, it is random.

  • routing string

    A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • terminate_after number

    The maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a query reaches this limit, Elasticsearch terminates the query early. Elasticsearch collects documents before sorting.

    IMPORTANT: Use with caution. Elasticsearch applies this parameter to each shard handling the request. When possible, let Elasticsearch perform early termination automatically. Avoid specifying this parameter for requests that target data streams with backing indices across multiple data tiers.

  • q string

    The query in Lucene query string syntax. This parameter cannot be used with a request body.

For data streams, the API returns field capabilities among the stream’s backing indices. It returns runtime fields like any other field. For example, a runtime field with a type of keyword is returned the same as any other field that belongs to the keyword family.

Required authorization

  • Index privileges: view_index_metadata,read

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    The type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
    • none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • fields string | array[string]

    A comma-separated list of fields to retrieve capabilities for. Wildcard (*) expressions are supported.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If true, missing or closed indices are not included in the response.

  • include_unmapped boolean

    If true, unmapped fields are included in the response.

  • filters string Generally available; Added in 8.2.0

    A comma-separated list of filters to apply to the response.

  • types array[string] Generally available; Added in 8.2.0

    A comma-separated list of field types to include. Any fields that do not match one of these types will be excluded from the results. It defaults to empty, meaning that all field types are returned.

  • include_empty_fields boolean Generally available; Added in 8.13.0

    If false, empty fields are not included in the response.
