http://api.example.comElasticsearch provides REST APIs that are used by the UI components and can be called directly to configure and access Elasticsearch features.
This documentation is derived from the 9.0 branch of the elasticsearch-specification repository. It is provided under license Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.
This documentation contains work-in-progress information for future Elastic Stack releases.
Last update on Jun 6, 2025.
This API is provided under license Apache 2.0.
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.
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.
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

This API gets the current autoscaling capacity based on the configured autoscaling policy. It will return information to size the cluster appropriately to the current workload.
The required_capacity is calculated as the maximum of the required_capacity result of all individual deciders that are enabled for the policy.
The operator should verify that the current_nodes match the operator’s knowledge of the cluster to avoid making autoscaling decisions based on stale or incomplete information.
The response contains decider-specific information you can use to diagnose how and why autoscaling determined a certain capacity was required. This information is provided for diagnosis only. Do not use this information to make autoscaling decisions.

]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 cluster health API.
This API is often used to check malfunctioning clusters.
To help you track cluster health alongside log files and alerting systems, the API returns timestamps in two formats:
HH:MM:SS, which is human-readable but includes no date information;
Unix epoch time, which is machine-sortable and includes date information.
The latter format is useful for cluster recoveries that take multiple days.
You can use the cat health API to verify cluster health across multiple nodes.
You also can use the API to track the recovery of a large cluster over a longer period of time.
The unit used to display time values.
Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.
If true, returns HH:MM:SS and Unix epoch timestamps.

Use this request to get the following information for each index in a cluster:
These metrics are retrieved directly from Lucene, which Elasticsearch uses internally to power indexing and search. As a result, all document counts include hidden nested documents. To get an accurate count of Elasticsearch documents, use the cat count or count APIs.
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 an index endpoint.
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.
The unit used to display byte values.
Values are b, kb, mb, gb, tb, or pb.
The type of index that wildcard patterns can match.
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.
The health status used to limit returned indices. By default, the response includes indices of any health status.
Supported values include:
green (or GREEN): All shards are assigned.yellow (or YELLOW): All primary shards are assigned, but one or more replica shards are unassigned. If a node in the cluster fails, some data could be unavailable until that node is repaired.red (or RED): One or more primary shards are unassigned, so some data is unavailable. This can occur briefly during cluster startup as primary shards are assigned.Values are green, GREEN, yellow, YELLOW, red, or RED.
If true, the response includes information from segments that are not loaded into memory.
If true, the response only includes information from primary shards.

ascending chronological order.data.processed_fields (or dpf, dataProcessedFields): The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by
the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector
configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not

warn, categorization is detecting a distribution of categories that
suggests the input data is inappropriate for categorization. Problems could
be that there is only one category, more than 90% of categories are rare,
the number of categories is greater than 50% of the number of categorized
documents, there are no frequently matched categories, or more than 50% of
categories are dead.model.categorized_doc_count (or mcdc, modelCategorizedDocCount): The number of documents that have had a field categorized.model.dead_category_count (or mdcc, modelDeadCategoryCount): The number of categories created by categorization that will never be
assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of
the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way
categorization has no prior training.model.failed_category_count (or mdcc, modelFailedCategoryCount): The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but
couldn’t because the job had hit its model memory limit. This count does
not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore, you

If ok, the models stayed below the configured value. If soft_limit, the
models used more than 60% of the configured memory limit and older unused
models will be pruned to free up space. Additionally, in categorization jobs
no further category examples will be stored. If hard_limit, the models
used more space than the configured memory limit. As a result, not all

opened, or opening. If closed, the job finished successfully with its
model state persisted. The job must be opened before it can accept further
data. If closing, the job close action is in progress and has not yet
completed. A closing job cannot accept further data. If failed, the job
did not finish successfully due to an error. This situation can occur due
to invalid input data, a fatal error occurring during the analysis, or an
external interaction such as the process being killed by the Linux out of
memory (OOM) killer. If the job had irrevocably failed, it must be force
closed and then deleted. If the datafeed can be corrected, the job can be
closed and then re-opened. If opened, the job is available to receive and
process data. If opening, the job open action is in progress and has not
yet completed.Comma-separated list of column names or column aliases used to sort the response.

detection job is configured to analyze. Input documents with missing fields
are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing.data.out_of_order_timestamps (or doot, dataOutOfOrderTimestamps): The number of input documents that have a timestamp chronologically
preceding the start of the current anomaly detection bucket offset by the
latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data
to the anomaly detection job by using the post data API. These out of order
documents are discarded, since jobs require time series data to be in
ascending chronological order.data.processed_fields (or dpf, dataProcessedFields): The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by
the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector
configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not
included in this count.data.processed_records (or dpr, dataProcessedRecords): The number of input documents that have been processed by the anomaly
detection job. This value includes documents with missing fields, since
they are nonetheless analyzed. If you use datafeeds and have aggregations
in your search query, the processed record count is the number of
aggregation results processed, not the number of Elasticsearch documents.data.sparse_buckets (or dsb, dataSparseBuckets): The number of buckets that contained few data points compared to the
expected number of data points.forecasts.memory.avg (or fmavg, forecastsMemoryAvg): The average memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly

is cumulative for all detectors in the job.model.bytes (or mb, modelBytes): The number of bytes of memory used by the models. This is the maximum value
since the last time the model was persisted. If the job is closed, this
value indicates the latest size.model.bytes_exceeded (or mbe, modelBytesExceeded): The number of bytes over the high limit for memory usage at the last
allocation failure.model.categorization_status (or mcs, modelCategorizationStatus): The status of categorization for the job: ok or warn. If ok,
categorization is performing acceptably well (or not being used at all). If
warn, categorization is detecting a distribution of categories that
suggests the input data is inappropriate for categorization. Problems could
be that there is only one category, more than 90% of categories are rare,
the number of categories is greater than 50% of the number of categorized
documents, there are no frequently matched categories, or more than 50% of
categories are dead.model.categorized_doc_count (or mcdc, modelCategorizedDocCount): The number of documents that have had a field categorized.model.dead_category_count (or mdcc, modelDeadCategoryCount): The number of categories created by categorization that will never be
assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of
the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way
categorization has no prior training.model.failed_category_count (or mdcc, modelFailedCategoryCount): The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but
couldn’t because the job had hit its model memory limit. This count does
not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore, you
cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that
were missed.model.frequent_category_count (or mfcc, modelFrequentCategoryCount): The number of categories that match more than 1% of categorized documents.model.log_time (or mlt, modelLogTime): The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.model.memory_limit (or mml, modelMemoryLimit): The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.model.memory_status (or mms, modelMemoryStatus): The status of the mathematical models: ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit.
If ok, the models stayed below the configured value. If soft_limit, the
models used more than 60% of the configured memory limit and older unused
models will be pruned to free up space. Additionally, in categorization jobs
no further category examples will be stored. If hard_limit, the models
used more space than the configured memory limit. As a result, not all
incoming data was processed.model.over_fields (or mof, modelOverFields): The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This
value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.model.partition_fields (or mpf, modelPartitionFields): The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This
value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.model.rare_category_count (or mrcc, modelRareCategoryCount): The number of categories that match just one categorized document.model.timestamp (or mt, modelTimestamp): The timestamp of the last record when the model stats were gathered.model.total_category_count (or mtcc, modelTotalCategoryCount): The number of categories created by categorization.node.address (or na, nodeAddress): The network address of the node that runs the job.

available only for open jobs.node.id (or ni, nodeId): The unique identifier of the node that runs the job. This information is
available only for open jobs.node.name (or nn, nodeName): The name of the node that runs the job. This information is available only
for open jobs.opened_time (or ot): For open jobs only, the elapsed time for which the job has been open.state (or s): The status of the anomaly detection job: closed, closing, failed,
opened, or opening. If closed, the job finished successfully with its
model state persisted. The job must be opened before it can accept further
data. If closing, the job close action is in progress and has not yet
completed. A closing job cannot accept further data. If failed, the job
did not finish successfully due to an error. This situation can occur due
to invalid input data, a fatal error occurring during the analysis, or an
external interaction such as the process being killed by the Linux out of
memory (OOM) killer. If the job had irrevocably failed, it must be force
closed and then deleted. If the datafeed can be corrected, the job can be
closed and then re-opened. If opened, the job is available to receive and
process data. If opening, the job open action is in progress and has not
yet completed.The unit used to display time values.

}Update the cluster voting config exclusions by node IDs or node names. By default, if there are more than three master-eligible nodes in the cluster and you remove fewer than half of the master-eligible nodes in the cluster at once, the voting configuration automatically shrinks. If you want to shrink the voting configuration to contain fewer than three nodes or to remove half or more of the master-eligible nodes in the cluster at once, use this API to remove departing nodes from the voting configuration manually. The API adds an entry for each specified node to the cluster’s voting configuration exclusions list. It then waits until the cluster has reconfigured its voting configuration to exclude the specified nodes.
Clusters should have no voting configuration exclusions in normal operation.
Once the excluded nodes have stopped, clear the voting configuration exclusions with DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions.
This API waits for the nodes to be fully removed from the cluster before it returns.
If your cluster has voting configuration exclusions for nodes that you no longer intend to remove, use DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions?wait_for_removal=false to clear the voting configuration exclusions without waiting for the nodes to leave the cluster.
A response to POST /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions with an HTTP status code of 200 OK guarantees that the node has been removed from the voting configuration and will not be reinstated until the voting configuration exclusions are cleared by calling DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions.
If the call to POST /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions fails or returns a response with an HTTP status code other than 200 OK then the node may not have been removed from the voting configuration.
In that case, you may safely retry the call.
NOTE: Voting exclusions are required only when you remove at least half of the master-eligible nodes from a cluster in a short time period. They are not required when removing master-ineligible nodes or when removing fewer than half of the master-eligible nodes.
A comma-separated list of the names of the nodes to exclude from the voting configuration. If specified, you may not also specify node_ids.
A comma-separated list of the persistent ids of the nodes to exclude from the voting configuration. If specified, you may not also specify node_names.
Period to wait for a connection to the master node.
Values are -1 or 0.
When adding a voting configuration exclusion, the API waits for the specified nodes to be excluded from the voting configuration before returning. If the timeout expires before the appropriate condition is satisfied, the request fails and returns an error.
Values are -1 or 0.

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.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"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.
Return settings in flat format (default: false)

}You can also use the API to get the health status of only specified data streams and indices. For data streams, the API retrieves the health status of the stream’s backing indices.
The cluster health status is: green, yellow or red. On the shard level, a red status indicates that the specific shard is not allocated in the cluster. Yellow means that the primary shard is allocated but replicas are not. Green means that all shards are allocated. The index level status is controlled by the worst shard status.
One of the main benefits of the API is the ability to wait until the cluster reaches a certain high watermark health level. The cluster status is controlled by the worst index status.

curl \
--request GET 'http://api.example.com/_info/{target}' \
--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Get information about cluster-level changes (such as create index, update mapping, allocate or fail shard) that have not yet taken effect.
NOTE: This API returns a list of any pending updates to the cluster state. These are distinct from the tasks reported by the task management API which include periodic tasks and tasks initiated by the user, such as node stats, search queries, or create index requests. However, if a user-initiated task such as a create index command causes a cluster state update, the activity of this task might be reported by both task api and pending cluster tasks API.
If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only.
If false, information is retrieved from the master node.
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.
curl \
--request GET 'http://api.example.com/_cluster/pending_tasks' \
--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Get information about configured remote clusters. The API returns connection and endpoint information keyed by the configured remote cluster alias.
This API returns information that reflects current state on the local cluster.
The connected field does not necessarily reflect whether a remote cluster is down or unavailable, only whether there is currently an open connection to it.
Elasticsearch does not spontaneously try to reconnect to a disconnected remote cluster.
To trigger a reconnection, attempt a cross-cluster search, ES|QL cross-cluster search, or try the resolve cluster endpoint.
curl \
--request GET 'http://api.example.com/_remote/info' \
--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Manually change the allocation of individual shards in the cluster. For example, a shard can be moved from one node to another explicitly, an allocation can be canceled, and an unassigned shard can be explicitly allocated to a specific node.
It is important to note that after processing any reroute commands Elasticsearch will perform rebalancing as normal (respecting the values of settings such as cluster.routing.rebalance.enable) in order to remain in a balanced state.
For example, if the requested allocation includes moving a shard from node1 to node2 then this may cause a shard to be moved from node2 back to node1 to even things out.
The cluster can be set to disable allocations using the cluster.routing.allocation.enable setting.
If allocations are disabled then the only allocations that will be performed are explicit ones given using the reroute command, and consequent allocations due to rebalancing.
The cluster will attempt to allocate a shard a maximum of index.allocation.max_retries times in a row (defaults to 5), before giving up and leaving the shard unallocated.
This scenario can be caused by structural problems such as having an analyzer which refers to a stopwords file which doesn’t exist on all nodes.
Once the problem has been corrected, allocation can be manually retried by calling the reroute API with the ?retry_failed URI query parameter, which will attempt a single retry round for these shards.
If true, then the request simulates the operation. It will calculate the result of applying the commands to the current cluster state and return the resulting cluster state after the commands (and rebalancing) have been applied; it will not actually perform the requested changes.
If true, then the response contains an explanation of why the commands can or cannot run.
Limits the information returned to the specified metrics.
If true, then retries allocation of shards that are blocked due to too many subsequent allocation failures.
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.

}Get comprehensive information about the state of the cluster.
The cluster state is an internal data structure which keeps track of a variety of information needed by every node, including the identity and attributes of the other nodes in the cluster; cluster-wide settings; index metadata, including the mapping and settings for each index; the location and status of every shard copy in the cluster.
The elected master node ensures that every node in the cluster has a copy of the same cluster state. This API lets you retrieve a representation of this internal state for debugging or diagnostic purposes. You may need to consult the Elasticsearch source code to determine the precise meaning of the response.
By default the API will route requests to the elected master node since this node is the authoritative source of cluster states.
You can also retrieve the cluster state held on the node handling the API request by adding the ?local=true query parameter.
Elasticsearch may need to expend significant effort to compute a response to this API in larger clusters, and the response may comprise a very large quantity of data. If you use this API repeatedly, your cluster may become unstable.
WARNING: The response is a representation of an internal data structure. Its format is not subject to the same compatibility guarantees as other more stable APIs and may change from version to version. Do not query this API using external monitoring tools. Instead, obtain the information you require using other more stable cluster APIs.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Get a report with the health status of an Elasticsearch cluster. The report contains a list of indicators that compose Elasticsearch functionality.
Each indicator has a health status of: green, unknown, yellow or red. The indicator will provide an explanation and metadata describing the reason for its current health status.
The cluster’s status is controlled by the worst indicator status.
In the event that an indicator’s status is non-green, a list of impacts may be present in the indicator result which detail the functionalities that are negatively affected by the health issue. Each impact carries with it a severity level, an area of the system that is affected, and a simple description of the impact on the system.
Some health indicators can determine the root cause of a health problem and prescribe a set of steps that can be performed in order to improve the health of the system. The root cause and remediation steps are encapsulated in a diagnosis. A diagnosis contains a cause detailing a root cause analysis, an action containing a brief description of the steps to take to fix the problem, the list of affected resources (if applicable), and a detailed step-by-step troubleshooting guide to fix the diagnosed problem.
NOTE: The health indicators perform root cause analysis of non-green health statuses. This can be computationally expensive when called frequently. When setting up automated polling of the API for health status, set verbose to false to disable the more expensive analysis logic.

}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.

}Remove the cross-cluster replication follower retention leases from the leader.
A following index takes out retention leases on its leader index. These leases are used to increase the likelihood that the shards of the leader index retain the history of operations that the shards of the following index need to run replication. When a follower index is converted to a regular index by the unfollow API (either by directly calling the API or by index lifecycle management tasks), these leases are removed. However, removal of the leases can fail, for example when the remote cluster containing the leader index is unavailable. While the leases will eventually expire on their own, their extended existence can cause the leader index to hold more history than necessary and prevent index lifecycle management from performing some operations on the leader index. This API exists to enable manually removing the leases when the unfollow API is unable to do so.
NOTE: This API does not stop replication by a following index. If you use this API with a follower index that is still actively following, the following index will add back retention leases on the leader. The only purpose of this API is to handle the case of failure to remove the following retention leases after the unfollow API is invoked.
the name of the leader index for which specified follower retention leases should be removed

The alias must not have any filters;
The alias must not use custom routing.

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.

--request POST 'http://api.example.com/_data_stream/_promote/{name}' \
--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Perform multiple index, create, delete, and update actions in a single request.
This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
create action, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege. Data streams support only the create action.index action, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.delete action, you must have the delete or write index privilege.update action, you must have the index or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.refresh parameter, you must have the maintenance or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
The actions are specified in the request body using a newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) structure:
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
....
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
The index and create actions expect a source on the next line and have the same semantics as the op_type parameter in the standard index API.
A create action fails if a document with the same ID already exists in the target
An index action adds or replaces a document as necessary.
NOTE: Data streams support only the create action.
To update or delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
An update action expects that the partial doc, upsert, and script and its options are specified on the next line.
A delete action does not expect a source on the next line and has the same semantics as the standard delete API.
NOTE: The final line of data must end with a newline character (\n).
Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return (\r).
When sending NDJSON data to the _bulk endpoint, use a Content-Type header of application/json or application/x-ndjson.
Because this format uses literal newline characters (\n) as delimiters, make sure that the JSON actions and sources are not pretty printed.
If you provide a target in the request path, it is used for any actions that don't explicitly specify an _index argument.
A note on the format: the idea here is to make processing as fast as possible.
As some of the actions are redirected to other shards on other nodes, only action_meta_data is parsed on the receiving node side.
Client libraries using this protocol should try and strive to do something similar on the client side, and reduce buffering as much as possible.
There is no "correct" number of actions to perform in a single bulk request. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal size for your particular workload. Note that Elasticsearch limits the maximum size of a HTTP request to 100mb by default so clients must ensure that no request exceeds this size. It is not possible to index a single document that exceeds the size limit, so you must pre-process any such documents into smaller pieces before sending them to Elasticsearch. For instance, split documents into pages or chapters before indexing them, or store raw binary data in a system outside Elasticsearch and replace the raw data with a link to the external system in the documents that you send to Elasticsearch.
Client suppport for bulk requests
Some of the officially supported clients provide helpers to assist with bulk requests and reindexing:
esutil.BulkIndexerSearch::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Bulk and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Scrollelasticsearch.helpers.*client.helpers.*BulkAllObservableSubmitting bulk requests with cURL
If you're providing text file input to curl, you must use the --data-binary flag instead of plain -d.
The latter doesn't preserve newlines. For example:
$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@requests"; echo
{"took":7, "errors": false, "items":[{"index":{"_index":"test","_id":"1","_version":1,"result":"created","forced_refresh":false}}]}
Optimistic concurrency control
Each index and delete action within a bulk API call may include the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters in their respective action and meta data lines.
The if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters control how operations are run, based on the last modification to existing documents. See Optimistic concurrency control for more details.
Versioning
Each bulk item can include the version value using the version field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _version mapping.
It also support the version_type.
Routing
Each bulk item can include the routing value using the routing field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _routing mapping.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Wait for active shards
When making bulk calls, you can set the wait_for_active_shards parameter to require a minimum number of shard copies to be active before starting to process the bulk request.
Refresh
Control when the changes made by this request are visible to search.
NOTE: Only the shards that receive the bulk request will be affected by refresh.
Imagine a _bulk?refresh=wait_for request with three documents in it that happen to be routed to different shards in an index with five shards.
The request will only wait for those three shards to refresh.
The other two shards that make up the index do not participate in the _bulk request at all.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
If true, the response will include the ingest pipelines that were run for each index or create.
The pipeline identifier to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, do nothing with refreshes.
Valid values: true, false, wait_for.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or contains a list of fields to return.
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.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
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.
The period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards.
The default is 1m (one minute), which guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing.
The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
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).
The default is 1, which waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the request's actions must target an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).

}Perform multiple index, create, delete, and update actions in a single request.
This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
create action, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege. Data streams support only the create action.index action, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.delete action, you must have the delete or write index privilege.update action, you must have the index or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.refresh parameter, you must have the maintenance or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
The actions are specified in the request body using a newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) structure:
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
....
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
The index and create actions expect a source on the next line and have the same semantics as the op_type parameter in the standard index API.
A create action fails if a document with the same ID already exists in the target
An index action adds or replaces a document as necessary.
NOTE: Data streams support only the create action.
To update or delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
An update action expects that the partial doc, upsert, and script and its options are specified on the next line.
A delete action does not expect a source on the next line and has the same semantics as the standard delete API.
NOTE: The final line of data must end with a newline character (\n).
Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return (\r).
When sending NDJSON data to the _bulk endpoint, use a Content-Type header of application/json or application/x-ndjson.
Because this format uses literal newline characters (\n) as delimiters, make sure that the JSON actions and sources are not pretty printed.
If you provide a target in the request path, it is used for any actions that don't explicitly specify an _index argument.
A note on the format: the idea here is to make processing as fast as possible.
As some of the actions are redirected to other shards on other nodes, only action_meta_data is parsed on the receiving node side.
Client libraries using this protocol should try and strive to do something similar on the client side, and reduce buffering as much as possible.
There is no "correct" number of actions to perform in a single bulk request. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal size for your particular workload. Note that Elasticsearch limits the maximum size of a HTTP request to 100mb by default so clients must ensure that no request exceeds this size. It is not possible to index a single document that exceeds the size limit, so you must pre-process any such documents into smaller pieces before sending them to Elasticsearch. For instance, split documents into pages or chapters before indexing them, or store raw binary data in a system outside Elasticsearch and replace the raw data with a link to the external system in the documents that you send to Elasticsearch.
Client suppport for bulk requests
Some of the officially supported clients provide helpers to assist with bulk requests and reindexing:
esutil.BulkIndexerSearch::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Bulk and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Scrollelasticsearch.helpers.*client.helpers.*BulkAllObservableSubmitting bulk requests with cURL
If you're providing text file input to curl, you must use the --data-binary flag instead of plain -d.
The latter doesn't preserve newlines. For example:
$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@requests"; echo
{"took":7, "errors": false, "items":[{"index":{"_index":"test","_id":"1","_version":1,"result":"created","forced_refresh":false}}]}
Optimistic concurrency control
Each index and delete action within a bulk API call may include the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters in their respective action and meta data lines.
The if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters control how operations are run, based on the last modification to existing documents. See Optimistic concurrency control for more details.
Versioning
Each bulk item can include the version value using the version field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _version mapping.
It also support the version_type.
Routing
Each bulk item can include the routing value using the routing field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _routing mapping.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Wait for active shards
When making bulk calls, you can set the wait_for_active_shards parameter to require a minimum number of shard copies to be active before starting to process the bulk request.
Refresh
Control when the changes made by this request are visible to search.
NOTE: Only the shards that receive the bulk request will be affected by refresh.
Imagine a _bulk?refresh=wait_for request with three documents in it that happen to be routed to different shards in an index with five shards.
The request will only wait for those three shards to refresh.
The other two shards that make up the index do not participate in the _bulk request at all.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
If true, the response will include the ingest pipelines that were run for each index or create.
The pipeline identifier to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, do nothing with refreshes.
Valid values: true, false, wait_for.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or contains a list of fields to return.
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.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
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.
The period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards.
The default is 1m (one minute), which guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing.
The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
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).
The default is 1, which waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the request's actions must target an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).

}Perform multiple index, create, delete, and update actions in a single request.
This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
create action, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege. Data streams support only the create action.index action, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.delete action, you must have the delete or write index privilege.update action, you must have the index or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.refresh parameter, you must have the maintenance or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
The actions are specified in the request body using a newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) structure:
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
....
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
The index and create actions expect a source on the next line and have the same semantics as the op_type parameter in the standard index API.
A create action fails if a document with the same ID already exists in the target
An index action adds or replaces a document as necessary.
NOTE: Data streams support only the create action.
To update or delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
An update action expects that the partial doc, upsert, and script and its options are specified on the next line.
A delete action does not expect a source on the next line and has the same semantics as the standard delete API.
NOTE: The final line of data must end with a newline character (\n).
Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return (\r).
When sending NDJSON data to the _bulk endpoint, use a Content-Type header of application/json or application/x-ndjson.
Because this format uses literal newline characters (\n) as delimiters, make sure that the JSON actions and sources are not pretty printed.
If you provide a target in the request path, it is used for any actions that don't explicitly specify an _index argument.
A note on the format: the idea here is to make processing as fast as possible.
As some of the actions are redirected to other shards on other nodes, only action_meta_data is parsed on the receiving node side.
Client libraries using this protocol should try and strive to do something similar on the client side, and reduce buffering as much as possible.
There is no "correct" number of actions to perform in a single bulk request. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal size for your particular workload. Note that Elasticsearch limits the maximum size of a HTTP request to 100mb by default so clients must ensure that no request exceeds this size. It is not possible to index a single document that exceeds the size limit, so you must pre-process any such documents into smaller pieces before sending them to Elasticsearch. For instance, split documents into pages or chapters before indexing them, or store raw binary data in a system outside Elasticsearch and replace the raw data with a link to the external system in the documents that you send to Elasticsearch.
Client suppport for bulk requests
Some of the officially supported clients provide helpers to assist with bulk requests and reindexing:
esutil.BulkIndexerSearch::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Bulk and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Scrollelasticsearch.helpers.*client.helpers.*BulkAllObservableSubmitting bulk requests with cURL
If you're providing text file input to curl, you must use the --data-binary flag instead of plain -d.
The latter doesn't preserve newlines. For example:
$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@requests"; echo
{"took":7, "errors": false, "items":[{"index":{"_index":"test","_id":"1","_version":1,"result":"created","forced_refresh":false}}]}
Optimistic concurrency control
Each index and delete action within a bulk API call may include the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters in their respective action and meta data lines.
The if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters control how operations are run, based on the last modification to existing documents. See Optimistic concurrency control for more details.
Versioning
Each bulk item can include the version value using the version field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _version mapping.
It also support the version_type.
Routing
Each bulk item can include the routing value using the routing field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _routing mapping.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Wait for active shards
When making bulk calls, you can set the wait_for_active_shards parameter to require a minimum number of shard copies to be active before starting to process the bulk request.
Refresh
Control when the changes made by this request are visible to search.
NOTE: Only the shards that receive the bulk request will be affected by refresh.
Imagine a _bulk?refresh=wait_for request with three documents in it that happen to be routed to different shards in an index with five shards.
The request will only wait for those three shards to refresh.
The other two shards that make up the index do not participate in the _bulk request at all.
The name of the data stream, index, or index alias to perform bulk actions on.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
If true, the response will include the ingest pipelines that were run for each index or create.
The pipeline identifier to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, do nothing with refreshes.
Valid values: true, false, wait_for.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or contains a list of fields to return.
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.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
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.
The period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards.
The default is 1m (one minute), which guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing.
The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
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).
The default is 1, which waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the request's actions must target an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).

}You can index a new JSON document with the /<target>/_doc/ or /<target>/_create/<_id> APIs
Using _create guarantees that the document is indexed only if it does not already exist.
It returns a 409 response when a document with a same ID already exists in the index.
To update an existing document, you must use the /<target>/_doc/ API.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
PUT /<target>/_create/<_id> or POST /<target>/_create/<_id> request formats, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
Automatically create data streams and indices
If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.
If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.
Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting.
If it is true, any index can be created automatically.
You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely.
Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked.
When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.
NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only.
It does not affect the creation of data streams.
Routing
By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value.
For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.
When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself.
This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass.
If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Distributed
The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.
Active shards
To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation.
If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs.
By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1).
This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.
Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1).
Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.
For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn’t match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
A unique identifier for the document.
To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Supported values include:
index: Overwrite any documents that already exist.create: Only index documents that do not already exist.Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards. Elasticsearch waits for at least the specified timeout period before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
The explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
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.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.

It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn’t match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
A unique identifier for the document.
To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Supported values include:
index: Overwrite any documents that already exist.create: Only index documents that do not already exist.Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards. Elasticsearch waits for at least the specified timeout period before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
The explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
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.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.

}
}Get a document and its source or stored fields from an index.
By default, this API is realtime and is not affected by the refresh rate of the index (when data will become visible for search).
In the case where stored fields are requested with the stored_fields parameter and the document has been updated but is not yet refreshed, the API will have to parse and analyze the source to extract the stored fields.
To turn off realtime behavior, set the realtime parameter to false.
Source filtering
By default, the API returns the contents of the _source field unless you have used the stored_fields parameter or the _source field is turned off.
You can turn off _source retrieval by using the _source parameter:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/0?_source=false
If you only need one or two fields from the _source, use the _source_includes or _source_excludes parameters to include or filter out particular fields.
This can be helpful with large documents where partial retrieval can save on network overhead
Both parameters take a comma separated list of fields or wildcard expressions.
For example:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/0?_source_includes=*.id&_source_excludes=entities
If you only want to specify includes, you can use a shorter notation:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/0?_source=*.id
Routing
If routing is used during indexing, the routing value also needs to be specified to retrieve a document. For example:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/2?routing=user1
This request gets the document with ID 2, but it is routed based on the user. The document is not fetched if the correct routing is not specified.
Distributed
The GET operation is hashed into a specific shard ID. It is then redirected to one of the replicas within that shard ID and returns the result. The replicas are the primary shard and its replicas within that shard ID group. This means that the more replicas you have, the better your GET scaling will be.
Versioning support
You can use the version parameter to retrieve the document only if its current version is equal to the specified one.
Internally, Elasticsearch has marked the old document as deleted and added an entirely new document. The old version of the document doesn't disappear immediately, although you won't be able to access it. Elasticsearch cleans up deleted documents in the background as you continue to index more data.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. By default, the operation is randomized between the shard replicas.
If it is set to _local, the operation will prefer to be run on a local allocated shard when possible.
If it is set to a custom value, the value is used to guarantee that the same shards will be used for the same custom value.
This can help with "jumping values" when hitting different shards in different refresh states.
A sample value can be something like the web session ID or the user name.
If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.
If true, the request refreshes the relevant shards before retrieving the document.
Setting it to true should be done after careful thought and verification that this does not cause a heavy load on the system (and slow down indexing).
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or lists the fields to return.
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.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
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.
A comma-separated list of stored fields to return as part of a hit.
If no fields are specified, no stored fields are included in the response.
If this field is specified, the _source parameter defaults to false.
Only leaf fields can be retrieved with the stored_field option.
Object fields can't be returned;if specified, the request fails.
The version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
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.

}Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.
NOTE: You cannot use this API to send update requests for existing documents in a data stream.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id> request format, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.POST /<target>/_doc/ request format, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
NOTE: Replica shards might not all be started when an indexing operation returns successfully.
By default, only the primary is required. Set wait_for_active_shards to change this default behavior.
Automatically create data streams and indices
If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.
If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.
Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting.
If it is true, any index can be created automatically.
You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely.
Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked.
When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.
NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only.
It does not affect the creation of data streams.
Optimistic concurrency control
Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.
Routing
By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value.
For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.
When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself.
This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass.
If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Distributed
The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.
Active shards
To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation.
If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs.
By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1).
This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.
Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1).
Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.
For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
No operation (noop) updates
When updating a document by using this API, a new version of the document is always created even if the document hasn't changed.
If this isn't acceptable use the _update API with detect_noop set to true.
The detect_noop option isn't available on this API because it doesn’t fetch the old source and isn't able to compare it against the new source.
There isn't a definitive rule for when noop updates aren't acceptable. It's a combination of lots of factors like how frequently your data source sends updates that are actually noops and how many queries per second Elasticsearch runs on the shard receiving the updates.
Versioning
Each indexed document is given a version number.
By default, internal versioning is used that starts at 1 and increments with each update, deletes included.
Optionally, the version number can be set to an external value (for example, if maintained in a database).
To enable this functionality, version_type should be set to external.
The value provided must be a numeric, long value greater than or equal to 0, and less than around 9.2e+18.
NOTE: Versioning is completely real time, and is not affected by the near real time aspects of search operations. If no version is provided, the operation runs without any version checks.
When using the external version type, the system checks to see if the version number passed to the index request is greater than the version of the currently stored document. If true, the document will be indexed and the new version number used. If the value provided is less than or equal to the stored document's version number, a version conflict will occur and the index operation will fail. For example:
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?version=2&version_type=external
{
"user": {
"id": "elkbee"
}
}
In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).
A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.
A unique identifier for the document.
To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format and omit this parameter.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Supported values include:
index: Overwrite any documents that already exist.create: Only index documents that do not already exist.Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
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.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.

{
"user": {
"id": "elkbee"

}
In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).
A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.
A unique identifier for the document.
To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format and omit this parameter.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Supported values include:
index: Overwrite any documents that already exist.create: Only index documents that do not already exist.Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
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.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.

}Remove a JSON document from the specified index.
NOTE: You cannot send deletion requests directly to a data stream. To delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
Optimistic concurrency control
Delete operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.
Versioning
Each document indexed is versioned.
When deleting a document, the version can be specified to make sure the relevant document you are trying to delete is actually being deleted and it has not changed in the meantime.
Every write operation run on a document, deletes included, causes its version to be incremented.
The version number of a deleted document remains available for a short time after deletion to allow for control of concurrent operations.
The length of time for which a deleted document's version remains available is determined by the index.gc_deletes index setting.
Routing
If routing is used during indexing, the routing value also needs to be specified to delete a document.
If the _routing mapping is set to required and no routing value is specified, the delete API throws a RoutingMissingException and rejects the request.
For example:
DELETE /my-index-000001/_doc/1?routing=shard-1
This request deletes the document with ID 1, but it is routed based on the user. The document is not deleted if the correct routing is not specified.
Distributed
The delete operation gets hashed into a specific shard ID. It then gets redirected into the primary shard within that ID group and replicated (if needed) to shard replicas within that ID group.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period to wait for active shards.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the delete operation might not be available when the delete operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a store or undergoing relocation. By default, the delete operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for up to 1 minute before failing and responding with an error.
Values are -1 or 0.
An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
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.
The minimum number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.

}Verify that a document exists.
For example, check to see if a document with the _id 0 exists:
HEAD my-index-000001/_doc/0
If the document exists, the API returns a status code of 200 - OK.
If the document doesn’t exist, the API returns 404 - Not Found.
Versioning support
You can use the version parameter to check the document only if its current version is equal to the specified one.
Internally, Elasticsearch has marked the old document as deleted and added an entirely new document. The old version of the document doesn't disappear immediately, although you won't be able to access it. Elasticsearch cleans up deleted documents in the background as you continue to index more data.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. By default, the operation is randomized between the shard replicas.
If it is set to _local, the operation will prefer to be run on a local allocated shard when possible.
If it is set to a custom value, the value is used to guarantee that the same shards will be used for the same custom value.
This can help with "jumping values" when hitting different shards in different refresh states.
A sample value can be something like the web session ID or the user name.
If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.
If true, the request refreshes the relevant shards before retrieving the document.
Setting it to true should be done after careful thought and verification that this does not cause a heavy load on the system (and slow down indexing).
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or lists the fields to return.
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.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
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.
A comma-separated list of stored fields to return as part of a hit.
If no fields are specified, no stored fields are included in the response.
If this field is specified, the _source parameter defaults to false.
Explicit version number for concurrency control. The specified version must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
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.

Deletes documents that match the specified query.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or alias:
readdelete or writeYou can specify the query criteria in the request URI or the request body using the same syntax as the search API. When you submit a delete by query request, Elasticsearch gets a snapshot of the data stream or index when it begins processing the request and deletes matching documents using internal versioning. If a document changes between the time that the snapshot is taken and the delete operation is processed, it results in a version conflict and the delete operation fails.
NOTE: Documents with a version equal to 0 cannot be deleted using delete by query because internal versioning does not support 0 as a valid version number.
While processing a delete by query request, Elasticsearch performs multiple search requests sequentially to find all of the matching documents to delete. A bulk delete request is performed for each batch of matching documents. If a search or bulk request is rejected, the requests are retried up to 10 times, with exponential back off. If the maximum retry limit is reached, processing halts and all failed requests are returned in the response. Any delete requests that completed successfully still stick, they are not rolled back.
You can opt to count version conflicts instead of halting and returning by setting conflicts to proceed.
Note that if you opt to count version conflicts the operation could attempt to delete more documents from the source than max_docs until it has successfully deleted max_docs documents, or it has gone through every document in the source query.
Throttling delete requests
To control the rate at which delete by query issues batches of delete operations, you can set requests_per_second to any positive decimal number.
This pads each batch with a wait time to throttle the rate.
Set requests_per_second to -1 to disable throttling.
Throttling uses a wait time between batches so that the internal scroll requests can be given a timeout that takes the request padding into account.
The padding time is the difference between the batch size divided by the requests_per_second and the time spent writing.
By default the batch size is 1000, so if requests_per_second is set to 500:
target_time = 1000 / 500 per second = 2 seconds
wait_time = target_time - write_time = 2 seconds - .5 seconds = 1.5 seconds
Since the batch is issued as a single _bulk request, large batch sizes cause Elasticsearch to create many requests and wait before starting the next set.
This is "bursty" instead of "smooth".
Slicing
Delete by query supports sliced scroll to parallelize the delete process. This can improve efficiency and provide a convenient way to break the request down into smaller parts.
Setting slices to auto lets Elasticsearch choose the number of slices to use.
This setting will use one slice per shard, up to a certain limit.
If there are multiple source data streams or indices, it will choose the number of slices based on the index or backing index with the smallest number of shards.
Adding slices to the delete by query operation creates sub-requests which means it has some quirks:
slices will rethrottle the unfinished sub-request proportionally.slices will cancel each sub-request.slices each sub-request won't get a perfectly even portion of the documents. All documents will be addressed, but some slices may be larger than others. Expect larger slices to have a more even distribution.requests_per_second and max_docs on a request with slices are distributed proportionally to each sub-request. Combine that with the earlier point about distribution being uneven and you should conclude that using max_docs with slices might not result in exactly max_docs documents being deleted.If you're slicing manually or otherwise tuning automatic slicing, keep in mind that:
slices hurts performance. Setting slices higher than the number of shards generally does not improve efficiency and adds overhead.Whether query or delete performance dominates the runtime depends on the documents being reindexed and cluster resources.
Cancel a delete by query operation
Any delete by query can be canceled using the task cancel API. For example:
POST _tasks/r1A2WoRbTwKZ516z6NEs5A:36619/_cancel
The task ID can be found by using the get tasks API.
Cancellation should happen quickly but might take a few seconds. The get task status API will continue to list the delete by query task until this task checks that it has been cancelled and terminates itself.
A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search.
It supports wildcards (*).
To search all data streams or indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.
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 to use for the query string.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
If true, wildcard and prefix queries are analyzed.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
What to do if delete by query hits version conflicts: abort or proceed.
Supported values include:
abort: Stop reindexing if there are conflicts.proceed: Continue reindexing even if there are conflicts.Values are abort or proceed.
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.
The field to use as default where no field prefix is given in the query string.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
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.
Skips the specified number of documents.
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.
The maximum number of documents to process.
Defaults to all documents.
When set to a value less then or equal to scroll_size, a scroll will not be used to retrieve the results for the operation.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes all shards involved in the delete by query after the request completes.
This is different than the delete API's refresh parameter, which causes just the shard that received the delete request to be refreshed.
Unlike the delete API, it does not support wait_for.
If true, the request cache is used for this request.
Defaults to the index-level setting.
The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second.
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
A query in the Lucene query string syntax.
The period to retain the search context for scrolling.
Values are -1 or 0.
The size of the scroll request that powers the operation.
The explicit timeout for each search request. It defaults to no timeout.
Values are -1 or 0.
The type of the search operation.
Available options include query_then_fetch and dfs_query_then_fetch.
Supported values include:
query_then_fetch: Documents are scored using local term and document frequencies for the shard. This is usually faster but less accurate.dfs_query_then_fetch: Documents are scored using global term and document frequencies across all shards. This is usually slower but more accurate.Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.
The number of slices this task should be divided into.
Value is auto.
A comma-separated list of <field>:<direction> pairs.
The specific tag of the request for logging and statistical purposes.
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.
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.
The period each deletion request waits for active shards.
Values are -1 or 0.
If true, returns the document version as part of a hit.
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).
The timeout value controls how long each write request waits for unavailable shards to become available.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the request blocks until the operation is complete.
If false, Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task you can use to cancel or get the status of the task. Elasticsearch creates a record of this task as a document at .tasks/task/${taskId}. When you are done with a task, you should delete the task document so Elasticsearch can reclaim the space.
The maximum number of documents to delete.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.
NOTE: You cannot use this API to send update requests for existing documents in a data stream.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id> request format, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.POST /<target>/_doc/ request format, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
NOTE: Replica shards might not all be started when an indexing operation returns successfully.
By default, only the primary is required. Set wait_for_active_shards to change this default behavior.
Automatically create data streams and indices
If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.
If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.
Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting.
If it is true, any index can be created automatically.
You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely.
Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked.
When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.
NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only.
It does not affect the creation of data streams.
Optimistic concurrency control
Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.
Routing
By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value.
For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.
When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself.
This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass.
If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Distributed
The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.
Active shards
To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation.
If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs.
By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1).
This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.
Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1).
Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.
For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
No operation (noop) updates
When updating a document by using this API, a new version of the document is always created even if the document hasn't changed.
If this isn't acceptable use the _update API with detect_noop set to true.
The detect_noop option isn't available on this API because it doesn’t fetch the old source and isn't able to compare it against the new source.
There isn't a definitive rule for when noop updates aren't acceptable. It's a combination of lots of factors like how frequently your data source sends updates that are actually noops and how many queries per second Elasticsearch runs on the shard receiving the updates.
Versioning
Each indexed document is given a version number.
By default, internal versioning is used that starts at 1 and increments with each update, deletes included.
Optionally, the version number can be set to an external value (for example, if maintained in a database).
To enable this functionality, version_type should be set to external.
The value provided must be a numeric, long value greater than or equal to 0, and less than around 9.2e+18.
NOTE: Versioning is completely real time, and is not affected by the near real time aspects of search operations. If no version is provided, the operation runs without any version checks.
When using the external version type, the system checks to see if the version number passed to the index request is greater than the version of the currently stored document. If true, the document will be indexed and the new version number used. If the value provided is less than or equal to the stored document's version number, a version conflict will occur and the index operation will fail. For example:
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?version=2&version_type=external
{
"user": {
"id": "elkbee"
}
}
In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).
A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Supported values include:
index: Overwrite any documents that already exist.create: Only index documents that do not already exist.Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
Values are -1 or 0.
An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
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.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
Values are all or index-setting.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.
