The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:
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.
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
NOTE: This feature is designed for indirect use by Elasticsearch Service, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes. Direct use is not supported.
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.

Returns search results for an Event Query Language (EQL) query. EQL assumes each document in a data stream or index corresponds to an event.
If true, returns partial results if there are shard failures. If false, returns an error with no partial results.
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.
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.
If true, the search and its results are stored on the cluster.
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.
EQL query you wish to run.
Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.
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.
Allow query execution also in case of shard failures. If true, the query will keep running and will return results based on the available shards. For sequences, the behavior can be further refined using allow_partial_sequence_results
Default value is true.
This flag applies only to sequences and has effect only if allow_partial_search_results=true. If true, the sequence query will return results based on the available shards, ignoring the others. If false, the sequence query will return successfully, but will always have empty results.
Default value is false.
Values are tail or head.
By default, the response of a sample query contains up to 10 samples, with one sample per unique set of join keys. Use the size
parameter to get a smaller or larger set of samples. To retrieve more than one sample per set of join keys, use the
max_samples_per_key parameter. Pipes are not supported for sample queries.
Default value is 1.

}Get the current status and available results or stored results for an ES|QL asynchronous query. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, only the user who first submitted the ES|QL query can retrieve the results using this API.
The unique identifier of the query.
A query ID is provided in the ES|QL async query API response for a query that does not complete in the designated time.
A query ID is also provided when the request was submitted with the keep_on_completion parameter set to true.
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.
A short version of the Accept header, for example json or yaml.
Values are csv, json, tsv, txt, yaml, cbor, smile, or arrow.
The period for which the query and its results are stored in the cluster. When this period expires, the query and its results are deleted, even if the query is still ongoing.
Values are -1 or 0.
The period to wait for the request to finish.
By default, the request waits for complete query results.
If the request completes during the period specified in this parameter, complete query results are returned.
Otherwise, the response returns an is_running value of true and no results.
Values are -1 or 0.

A short version of the Accept header, e.g. json, yaml.
Values are csv, json, tsv, txt, yaml, cbor, smile, or arrow.
The character to use between values within a CSV row. Only valid for the CSV format.
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.
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.
An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.
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.
A field value.
A field value.
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.
The ES|QL query API accepts an ES|QL query string in the query parameter, runs it, and returns the results.
Tables to use with the LOOKUP operation. The top level key is the table name and the next level key is the column name.
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.

}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.
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.

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.
