Let’s get the document that we just indexed. This will simply return the document:

$params = [
    'index' => 'my_index',
    'type' => 'my_type',
    'id' => 'my_id'
];

$response = $client->get($params);
print_r($response);

The response contains some metadata (index, type, etc) as well as a _source field…​this is the original document that you sent to Elasticsearch.

Array
(
    [_index] => my_index
    [_type] => my_type
    [_id] => my_id
    [_version] => 1
    [found] => 1
    [_source] => Array
        (
            [testField] => abc
        )

)
