Python client for Elasticsearch
Project description
The official Python client for Elasticsearch.
Features
Translating basic Python data types to and from JSON
Configurable automatic discovery of cluster nodes
Persistent connections
Load balancing (with pluggable selection strategy) across available nodes
Failed connection penalization (time based - failed connections won’t be retried until a timeout is reached)
Support for TLS and HTTP authentication
Thread safety across requests
Pluggable architecture
Helper functions for idiomatically using APIs together
Installation
Install the elasticsearch package with pip:
$ python -m pip install elasticsearch
If your application uses async/await in Python you can install with the async extra:
$ python -m pip install elasticsearch[async]
Read more about how to use asyncio with this project.
Compatibility
Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater or equal minor versions of Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and without guarantees made.
If you have a need to have multiple versions installed at the same time older versions are also released as elasticsearch2 and elasticsearch5.
Documentation
Documentation for the client is available on elastic.co and Read the Docs.
Quick Start
# Import the client from the 'elasticsearch' module
>>> from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
# Instantiate a client instance
>>> client = Elasticsearch("http://localhost:9200")
# Call an API, in this example `info()`
>>> resp = client.info()
# View the result
>>> resp
{
"name" : "instance-name",
"cluster_name" : "cluster-name",
"cluster_uuid" : "cluster-uuid",
"version" : {
"number" : "7.14.0",
...
},
"tagline" : "You know, for Search"
}You can read more about configuring the client in the documentation.
