=== Exists API
|
|
|
|
The exists API returns `true` if a document exists, and `false` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
[id="{upid}-{api}-request"]
|
|
==== Exists Request
|
|
|
|
It uses +{request}+ just like the <<java-rest-high-document-get>>.
|
|
All of its <<java-rest-high-document-get-request-optional-arguments, optional arguments>>
|
|
are supported. Since `exists()` only returns `true` or `false`, we recommend
|
|
turning off fetching `_source` and any stored fields so the request is
|
|
slightly lighter:
|
|
|
|
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
