Get mapping definitions Beta

GET /_mapping

Retrieves mapping definitions for one or more indices. For data streams, the API retrieves mappings for the stream’s backing indices.

Query parameters

  • If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden. Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.

  • If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
