# Script APIs

The script APIs allow you to work with stored scripts. Stored scripts are part of the cluster state and reduce compilation time and enhance search speed. The default scripting language is Painless.

You can perform the following operations on stored scripts:
* [Create or update stored script]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/create-stored-script/)
* [Execute Painless stored script]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/exec-stored-script/)
* [Get stored script]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/get-stored-script/)
* [Delete script]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/delete-script/)
* [Get stored script contexts]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/get-script-contexts/).
* [Get script language]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/script-apis/get-script-language/)
