The get mapping API allows to retrieve mapping definitions for an index or index/type.
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/twitter/_mapping/tweet?pretty'
The 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:
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_mapping/tweet,kimchy?pretty'
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_all/_mapping/tweet,book?pretty'
If you want to get mappings of all indices and types then the following two examples are equivalent:
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_all/_mapping?pretty'
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_mapping?pretty'
