# Clear index or data stream cache
# Clear cache
The clear cache API operation clears the caches of one or more indexes. For data streams, the API clears the caches of the streams backing indexes.

| Parameter | Data type | Description |
:--- | :--- | :---
| target | String | Comma-delimited list of data streams, indexes, and index aliases to which cache clearing will be applied. Wildcard expressions (`*`) are supported. To target all data streams and indexes in a cluster, omit this parameter or use `_all` or `*`. Optional. |

## Query parameters
@ -29,8 +29,9 @@ All query parameters are optional.
| allow_no_indices | Boolean | Whether to ignore wildcards, index aliases, or `_all` target (`target` path parameter) values that dont match any indexes. If `false`, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or `_all` target value doesn't match any indexes. This behavior also applies if the request targets include other open indexes. For example, a request where the target is `fig*,app*` returns an error if an index starts with `fig` but no index starts with `app`. Defaults to `true`. |
| expand_wildcards | String | Determines the index types that wildcard expressions can expand to. Accepts multiple values separated by a comma, such as `open,hidden`. Valid values are: <br /><br /> `all` -- Expand to open, closed, and hidden indexes.<br /><br />`open` -- Expand only to open indexes.<br /><br />`closed` -- Expand only to closed indexes<br /><br />`hidden` -- Expand to include hidden indexes. Must be combined with `open`, `closed`, or `both`.<br /><br />`none` -- Expansions are not accepted.<br /><br /> Defaults to `open`. |
| fielddata | Boolean | If `true`, clears the fields cache. Use the `fields` parameter to clear specific fields' caches. Defaults to `true`. |
| fields | String | Used in conjunction with the `fielddata` parameter. Comma-delimited list of field names that will be cleared out of the cache. Does not support objects or field aliases. Defaults to all fields. |
| index | String | Comma-delimited list of index names that will be cleared out of the cache. |
| fields | String | Used in conjunction with the `fielddata` parameter. Comma-delimited list of field names that are cleared out of the cache. Does not support objects or field aliases. Defaults to all fields. |
| file | Boolean | If `true`, clears the unused entries from the file cache on nodes with the Search role. Defaults to `false`. |
| index | String | Comma-delimited list of index names that are cleared out of the cache. |
| ignore_unavailable | Boolean | If `true`, OpenSearch ignores missing or closed indexes. Defaults to `false`. |
| query | Boolean | If `true`, clears the query cache. Defaults to `true`. |
| request | Boolean | If `true`, clears the request cache. Defaults to `true`. |
