# CAT fielddata
Introduced 1.0
{: .label .label-purple }

The CAT fielddata operation lists the memory size used by each field per node.

## Example

```json
GET _cat/fielddata?v
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

To limit the information to a specific field, add the field name after your query:

```json
GET _cat/fielddata/<field_name>?v
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

If you want to get information for more than one field, separate the field names with commas:

```json
GET _cat/fielddata/field_name_1,field_name_2,field_name_3
```
{% include copy-curl.html %}

## Path and HTTP methods

```
GET _cat/fielddata?v
GET _cat/fielddata/<field_name>?v
```

## URL parameters

All CAT fielddata URL parameters are optional.

In addition to the [common URL parameters]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/cat/index), you can specify the following parameter:

Parameter | Type | Description
:--- | :--- | :---
bytes | Byte size | Specify the units for byte size. For example, `7kb` or `6gb`. For more information, see [Supported units]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/units/).
