如何通过URL（http）创建弹性搜索文档文档

Question

I am new to elasticsearch and trying to find a way to create a document from url(http-API). I have tried below given options but none of them worked.

    http://Myserver:9200/dilbert/user/3 -d '{ "name" : "Praveena" }
    http://Myserver:9200/dilbert/user/3{ "name" : "Praveena" }
    http://Myserver:9200/dilbert/user/3?pretty _create name=Praveena

I expect this to add a record. Here dilbert is Index name. user is type & 3 is id. This index only contains a single element called name.

First option should work, but you must explicitly set request type to PUT .

It seems to me that you use curl to insert data. If you send data to server with -d option, curl issues the POST request by default. But you specify id of document in URL, so Elasticsearch waits for PUT request (see official documentation ). You can use POST requests only in case of automatic ID generation .

So your request may look as follows:

curl -X PUT http://Myserver:9200/dilbert/user/3 -d '{ "name" : "Praveena" }'
