== Get Mapping
The get mapping API allows to retrieve mapping definitions for an index or
index/type.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter/_mapping/_doc
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
[float]
=== Multiple Indices and Types
The get mapping API can be used to get more than one index or type
mapping with a single call. General usage of the API follows the
following syntax: `host:port/{index}/_mapping/{type}` where both
`{index}` and `{type}` can accept a comma-separated list of names. To
get mappings for all indices you can use `_all` for `{index}`. The
following are some examples:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_mapping/_doc
GET /_all/_mapping/_doc
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
If you want to get mappings of all indices and types then the following
two examples are equivalent:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_all/_mapping
GET /_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
[float]
=== Skipping types
Types are scheduled to be fully removed in Elasticsearch 8.0 and will not appear
in requests or responses anymore. You can opt in for this future behaviour by
setting `include_type_name=false` in the request, which will return mappings
directly under `mappings` without keying by the type name.
Here is an example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT test?include_type_name=false
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"foo": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
GET test/_mappings?include_type_name=false
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
which returns
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"test": {
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"foo": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE
