[[indices-exists]]
== Indices Exists

Used to check if the index (indices) exists or not. For example:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
HEAD twitter
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]

The HTTP status code indicates if the index exists or not. A `404` means
it does not exist, and `200` means it does.

Switch indices.exists_type from `{index}/{type}` to `{index}/_mapping/{type}`. #20055 This will help remove types as we will need `{index}/{id}` to tell whether a document exists. Relates #15613 2016-08-18 12:36:53 +02:00			`HEAD twitter`
