The above example gets the information for an index called `twitter`. Specifying an index,
|
|
|
|
alias or wildcard expression is required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The get index API can also be applied to more than one index, or on
|
|
|
|
all indices by using `_all` or `*` as index.

NOTE: Before 7.0.0, the 'mappings' definition used to include a type name. Although mappings
|
|
|
|
in responses no longer contain a type name by default, you can still request the old format
|
|
|
|
through the parameter include_type_name. For more details, please see <<removal-of-types>>.
