Authenticationedit

This section contains code snippets to show you how to connect to Enterprise Search, App Search, and Workplace Search.

Each service has its own authentication schemes. Enterprise Search uses a basic HTTP authentication with username and password. App Search and Workplace Search also accept a token. Refer to the authentication documentation for App Search and Workplace Search for the supported token types.

Authenticating with Enterprise Searchedit

Enterprise Search supports HTTP basic authentication with a username and password.

You can specify the enterprise-search configuration in the Client initialization:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'https://id.ent-search.europe-west2.gcp.elastic-cloud.com',
    'enterprise-search' => [
        'username' => '<insert here the username>',
        'password' => '<insert here the password>'
    ]
]);

$enterpriseSearch = $client->enterpriseSearch();

Or pass directly the username and password in the enterpriseSearch() function:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'https://id.ent-search.europe-west2.gcp.elastic-cloud.com',
]);

$enterpriseSearch = $client->enterpriseSearch([
    'username' => '<insert here the username>',
    'password' => '<insert here the password>'
]);

Authenticating with App Searchedit

Follow the App Search authentication guide to find or create an App Search API key.

The API key is the token that you need to pass in the Client.

You can pass the token in the Client initialization:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'https://id.ent-search.europe-west2.gcp.elastic-cloud.com',
    'app-search' => [
        'token' => '<insert here the API key>'
    ]
]);

$appSearch = $client->appSearch();

Or pass directly the token in the appSearch() function:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'https://id.ent-search.europe-west2.gcp.elastic-cloud.com',
]);

$appSearch = $client->appSearch([ 'token' => '<insert here the API key>' ]);

Authenticating with Workplace Searchedit

Workplace Search supports multiple authentication methods:

Workplace Search bearer tokensedit

Follow the Workplace Search API authentication reference to find or create a bearer token supported by Workplace Search.

You can pass the token in the Client initialization:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'https://id.ent-search.europe-west2.gcp.elastic-cloud.com',
    'workplace-search' => [
        'token' => '<insert here the access token>'
    ]
]);

$workplaceSearch = $client->workplaceSearch();

Or pass directly the token in the workplaceSearch() function:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'https://id.ent-search.europe-west2.gcp.elastic-cloud.com',
]);

$workplaceSearch = $client->workplaceSearch([ 'token' => '<insert here the access token>' ]);

Elastic Cloudedit

If you want to use Elastic Cloud you have many options to configure the enterprise-search-php client.

The first settings is the host domain to connect. You can copy the endpoint URL from the Deployment page of the Elastic cloud dashboard:

Copy endpoint

After, you need to choose the authentication mechanism for connecting to Enterprise Search, App Search and Workplace Search.

Authenticating with Enterprise Search in Cloudedit

You can use username (elastic) and password (the one given during the deployment).

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'url/from/Elastic/Cloud/dashborad',
    'enterprise-search' => [
        'username' => 'elastic'
        'password' => 'the password from the deployment'
    ]
]);

$es = $client->enterpriseSearch();

Or you can use the API Key created in the Management > API Keys.

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'url/from/Elastic/Cloud/dashborad',
    'enterprise-search' => [
        'apiKey' => 'the API Key from Management'
    ]
]);

$es = $client->enterpriseSearch();

Authenticating with App Search in Cloudedit

For App Search you can use different authentication mechanisms:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'url/from/Elastic/Cloud/dashborad',
    'app-search' => [
        'username' => 'elastic'
        'password' => 'the password from the deployment',
        // or
        'token' => 'token created from Elasticsearch get token API',
        // or
        'apiKey' => 'the API Key from App Search Credentials'
    ]
]);

$app = $client->appSearch();

Authenticating with Workplace Search in Cloudedit

For Workplace Search you can use different authentication mechanisms:

use Elastic\EnterpriseSearch\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'host' => 'url/from/Elastic/Cloud/dashborad',
    'app-search' => [
        'username' => 'elastic'
        'password' => 'the password from the deployment',
        // or
        'token' => 'token created from Elasticsearch get token API',
        // or
        'apiKey' => 'the API Key from Workplace Search API key'
        // or
        'apiKey' => 'the token from Workplace Search OAuth'
    ]
]);

$workplace = $client->workplaceSearch();
