== Get Index
The get index API allows to retrieve information about one or more indexes.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
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>>.
