Examplesedit
Below you can find examples of how to use the most frequently called APIs with the Python client.
Indexing a documentedit
To index a document, you need to specify three pieces of information: index,
id, and a document:
from datetime import datetime
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
client = Elasticsearch('https://localhost:9200')
doc = {
'author': 'author_name',
'text': 'Interesting content...',
'timestamp': datetime.now(),
}
resp = client.index(index="test-index", id=1, document=doc)
print(resp['result'])
Getting a documentedit
To get a document, you need to specify its index and id:
resp = client.get(index="test-index", id=1) print(resp['_source'])
Refreshing an indexedit
You can perform the refresh operation on an index:
client.indices.refresh(index="test-index")
Searching for a documentedit
The search() method returns results that are matching a query:
resp = client.search(index="test-index", query={"match_all": {}})
print("Got %d Hits:" % resp['hits']['total']['value'])
for hit in resp['hits']['hits']:
print("%(timestamp)s %(author)s: %(text)s" % hit["_source"])
Updating a documentedit
To update a document, you need to specify three pieces of information: index,
id, and a doc:
from datetime import datetime
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
client = Elasticsearch('https://localhost:9200')
doc = {
'author': 'author_name',
'text': 'Interesting modified content...',
'timestamp': datetime.now(),
}
resp = client.update(index="test-index", id=1, doc=doc)
print(resp['result'])
Deleting a documentedit
You can delete a document by specifying its index, and id in the delete()
method:
client.delete(index="test-index", id=1)
