History

Julie Tibshirani c2e9d13ebd Default include_type_name to false in the yml test harness. (#38058 ) This PR removes the temporary change we made to the yml test harness in #37285 to automatically set `include_type_name` to `true` in index creation requests if it's not already specified. This is possible now that the vast majority of index creation requests were updated to be typeless in #37611. A few additional tests also needed updating here. Additionally, this PR updates the test harness to set `include_type_name` to `false` in index creation requests when communicating with 6.x nodes. This mirrors the logic added in #37611 to allow for typeless document write requests in test set-up code. With this update in place, we can remove many references to `include_type_name: false` from the yml tests.		2019-02-01 11:44:13 -08:00

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-create-index.html",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
Link to the documentation at http://elastic.co
List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
URL specification: path, parts, parameters
Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.
