API Documentation¶
All the API calls map the raw REST api as closely as possible, including the distinction between required and optional arguments to the calls. This means that the code makes distinction between positional and keyword arguments; we, however, recommend that people use keyword arguments for all calls for consistency and safety.
An API call is considered successful (and will return a response) if elasticsearch returns a 2XX response. Otherwise an instance of TransportError (or a more specific subclass) will be raised. You can see other exception and error states in Exceptions. If you do not wish an exception to be raised you can always pass in an ignore parameter with either a single status code that should be ignored or a list of them:
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch()
# ignore 400 cause by IndexAlreadyExistsException when creating an index
es.indices.create(index='test-index', ignore=400)
# ignore 404 and 400
es.indices.delete(index='test-index', ignore=[400, 404])
You can also specify request_timeout (float) as part of any API call, this value will get passed to the perform_request method of the connection class:
# only wait for 1 second, regardless of the client's default
es.cluster.health(wait_for_status='yellow', request_timeout=1)
Note
for compatibility with the Python ecosystem we use from_ instead of from and doc_type instead of type as parameter names.
Elasticsearch¶
- class elasticsearch.Elasticsearch(hosts=None, transport_class=<class 'elasticsearch.transport.Transport'>, **kwargs)¶
Elasticsearch low-level client. Provides a straightforward mapping from Python to ES REST endpoints.
The instance has attributes cat, cluster, indices, nodes and snapshot that provide access to instances of CatClient, ClusterClient, IndicesClient, NodesClient and SnapshotClient respectively. This is the preferred (and only supported) way to get access to those classes and their methods.
Some examples:
# create connection to localhost using the ThriftConnection and it's # default port (9500) es = Elasticsearch(connection_class=ThriftConnection) # create connection that will automatically inspect the cluster to get # the list of active nodes. Start with nodes 'esnode1' and 'esnode2' es = Elasticsearch( ['esnode1', 'esnode2'], # sniff before doing anything sniff_on_start=True, # refresh nodes after a node fails to respond sniff_on_connection_fail=True, # and also every 60 seconds sniffer_timeout=60 ) # connect to localhost directly and another node using SSL on port 443 # and an url_prefix es = Elasticsearch([ {'host': 'localhost'}, {'host': 'othernode', 'port': 443, 'url_prefix': 'es', 'use_ssl': True}, ])
Parameters: - hosts – list of nodes we should connect to. Node should be a dictionary ({“host”: “localhost”, “port”: 9200}), the entire dictionary will be passed to the Connection class as kwargs, or a string in the format of host[:port] which will be translated to a dictionary automatically. If no value is given the Connection class defaults will be used.
- transport_class – Transport subclass to use.
- kwargs – any additional arguments will be passed on to the Transport class and, subsequently, to the Connection instances.
