API Documentation

Note

All the API calls map the raw REST api as closely as possible, including the distinction between required and optional arguments to the calls. This means that the code makes distinction between positional and keyword arguments; we, however, recommend that people use keyword arguments for all calls for consistency and safety.

Note

for compatibility with the Python ecosystem we use from_ instead of from and doc_type instead of type as parameter names.

Elasticsearch

class elasticsearch.Elasticsearch(hosts=None, transport_class=<class 'elasticsearch.transport.Transport'>, **kwargs)

Elasticsearch low-level client. Provides a straightforward mapping from Python to ES REST endpoints.

The instance has attributes indices and cluster that provide access to IndicesClient and ClusterClient instances respectively.

Parameters:

Node should be a dictionary ({“host”: “localhost”, “port”: 9200}), the entire dictionary will be passed to the Connection class as kwargs, or a string in the format ot host[:port] which will be translated to a dictionary automatically. If no value is given the Connection class defaults will be used.
  • transport_classTransport subclass to use.
  • kwargs – any additional arguments will be passed on to the Transport class and, subsequently, to the Connection instances.
