Elasticsearch::API

This library is part of the elasticsearch-ruby package; please refer to it, unless you want to use this library standalone.

Refer to the official documentation on Elasticsearch API.

The elasticsearch-api library provides a Ruby implementation of the Elasticsearch REST API. It does not provide an Elasticsearch client; see the elastic-transport library.

We follow Ruby’s own maintenance policy and officially support all currently maintained versions per Ruby Maintenance Branches.

Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater minor versions of Elasticsearch. Elastic language clients are also backwards compatible with lesser supported minor Elasticsearch versions.

Development

Refer to CONTRIBUTING.

We run the test suite for Elasticsearch’s Rest API tests. You can read more about this in the test runner README.

The rest_api task needs the test files from Elasticsearch. You can run the rake task to download the test artifacts in the root folder of the project. You can pass in a version to the task as a parameter:

rake download_artifacts[8.5.0-SNAPSHOT]

Or it can get the version from a running cluster to determine which version and build hash of Elasticsearch to use and test against:

TEST_ES_SERVER=http://localhost:9200 rake es:download_artifacts

This will download the necessary files used for the integration tests to ./tmp.

Code generation

The code for most of this library is automatically generated. See ./utils/README.md for more information.
