Get Mapping

editThe get mapping API allows to retrieve mapping definitions for an index or index/type.
GET /twitter/_mapping/_doc
Multiple Indices and Types
editThe get mapping API can be used to get more than one index or type
mapping with a single call. General usage of the API follows the
following syntax: host:port/{index}/_mapping/{type}
where both
{index}
and {type}
can accept a comma-separated list of names. To
get mappings for all indices you can use _all
for {index}
. The
following are some examples:
GET /_mapping/_doc GET /_all/_mapping/_doc
If you want to get mappings of all indices and types then the following two examples are equivalent:
GET /_all/_mapping GET /_mapping
Skipping types
editTypes are being removed from Elasticsearch: in 7.0, the mappings
element will no
longer return the type name as a top-level key by default. You can already opt in for
this behavior by setting include_type_name=false
on the request.
Such calls will be rejected on indices that have multiple types as it introduces ambiguity as to which mapping should be returned. Only indices created by Elasticsearch 5.x may have multiple types.
Here is an example:
PUT test?include_type_name=false { "mappings": { "properties": { "foo": { "type": "keyword" } } } } GET test/_mappings?include_type_name=false
which returns
{ "test": { "mappings": { "properties": { "foo": { "type": "keyword" } } } } }
