Query Parameters

preference string

The node or shard the operation should be performed on. By default, the operation is randomized between the shard replicas.

realtime boolean · default: true

If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.

refresh boolean · default: false

If true, the request refreshes the relevant shards before retrieving the document. Setting it to true should be done after careful thought and verification that this does not cause a heavy load on the system (and slow down indexing).

routing string Routing

A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.

_source union SourceConfigParam

Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or lists the fields to return.

One of: boolean or Fields

_source_excludes union Fields

A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude in the response.

One of: Field or Field[]

_source_includes union Fields

A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response.

One of: Field or Field[]

version number VersionNumber

The version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.

version_type enum VersionType

The version type.

Supported values include:

internal: Use internal versioning that starts at 1 and increments with each update or delete.
external: Only index the document if the specified version is strictly higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document.
external_gte: Only index the document if the specified version is equal or higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document. NOTE: The external_gte version type is meant for special use cases and should be used with care. If used incorrectly, it can result in loss of data.

Values: internal external external_gte
