=== Field Capabilities API
Allows you to retrieve the capabilities of fields among multiple indices.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_field_caps?fields=rating
--------------------------------------------------
[[search-field-caps-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /_field_caps`
`POST /_field_caps`
`GET /<index>/_field_caps`
`POST /<index>/_field_caps`
[[search-field-caps-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The field capabilities API returns the information about the capabilities of
fields among multiple indices.
[[search-field-caps-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
include::{docdir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=index]
[[search-field-caps-api-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
include::{docdir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=allow-no-indices]
include::{docdir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=expand-wildcards]
+
--
Defaults to `open`.

include::{docdir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=fields]
include::{docdir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=index-ignore-unavailable]
`include_unmapped`::
(Optional, boolean) If `true`, unmapped fields are included in the response.
Defaults to `false`.
[[search-field-caps-api-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}
`searchable`::
Whether this field is indexed for search on all indices.
`aggregatable`::
Whether this field can be aggregated on all indices.
`indices`::
The list of indices where this field has the same type, or null if all indices
have the same type for the field.
`non_searchable_indices`::
The list of indices where this field is not searchable, or null if all indices
have the same definition for the field.
`non_aggregatable_indices`::
The list of indices where this field is not aggregatable, or null if all
indices have the same definition for the field.
[[search-field-caps-api-example]]
==== {api-examples-title}
The request can be restricted to specific indices:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET twitter/_field_caps?fields=rating
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:twitter]
The next example API call requests information about the `rating` and the
`title` fields:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _field_caps?fields=rating,title
--------------------------------------------------
The API returns the following response:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"indices": ["index1", "index2", "index3", "index4", "index5"],
"fields": {
"rating": { <1>
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false,
"indices": ["index1", "index2"],
"non_aggregatable_indices": ["index1"] <2>
},
"keyword": {
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": true,
"indices": ["index3", "index4"],
"non_searchable_indices": ["index4"] <3>
}
},
"title": { <4>
"text": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:historically skipped]
<1> The field `rating` is defined as a long in `index1` and `index2`
and as a `keyword` in `index3` and `index4`.
<2> The field `rating` is not aggregatable in `index1`.
<3> The field `rating` is not searchable in `index4`.
<4> The field `title` is defined as `text` in all indices.
By default unmapped fields are ignored. You can include them in the response by
adding a parameter called `include_unmapped` in the request:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _field_caps?fields=rating,title&include_unmapped
--------------------------------------------------
In which case the response will contain an entry for each field that is present
in some indices but not all:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"indices": ["index1", "index2", "index3"],
"fields": {
"rating": {
"long": {
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false,
"indices": ["index1", "index2"],
"non_aggregatable_indices": ["index1"]
},
"keyword": {
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": true,
"indices": ["index3", "index4"],
"non_searchable_indices": ["index4"]
},
"unmapped": { <1>
"indices": ["index5"],
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": false
}
},
"title": {
"text": {
"indices": ["index1", "index2", "index3", "index4"],
"searchable": true,
"aggregatable": false
},
"unmapped": { <2>
"indices": ["index5"]
"searchable": false,
"aggregatable": false
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:historically skipped]
<1> The `rating` field is unmapped` in `index5`.
<2> The `title` field is unmapped` in `index5`.
