⚠️ This client is deprecated⚠️ As of Enterprise Search version 7.10.0, we are directing users to the new Enterprise Search Python Client and deprecating this client.
This client will be compatible with all Enterprise Search 7.x releases, but will not be compatible with 8.x releases. Our development effort on this project will be limited to bug fixes. All future enhancements will be focused on the Enterprise Search Ruby Client.
Thank you! - Elastic
A first-party Python client for building excellent, relevant search experiences with Elastic App Search.
Contents
Getting started 🐣
To install the client, use pip:
python -m pip install elastic-app-searchYou can also download the project source and run::
python setup.py installDependencies
Versioning
This client is versioned and released alongside App Search.
To guarantee compatibility, use the most recent version of this library within the major version of the corresponding App Search implementation.
For example, for App Search 7.3, use 7.3 of this library or above, but not 8.0.
If you are using the SaaS version available on swiftype.com of App Search, you should use the version 7.5.x of the client.
Usage
Instantiating a client
Using this client assumes that you have already an instance of Elastic App Search up and running.
The client can be instantiated using the base_endpoint, api_key and use_https parameters:
>>> from elastic_app_search import Client
>>> client = Client(
base_endpoint='localhost:3002/api/as/v1',
api_key='private-mu75psc5egt9ppzuycnc2mc3',
use_https=False
)Notes:
The [api_key] authenticates requests to the API.
You can use any key type with the client, however each has a different scope.
For more information on keys, check out the documentation.
The base_endpoint must exclude the protocol and include the api/as/v1 prefix. This can typically be found in the Credentials tab within the App Search Dashboard.
Set use_https to True or False depending how your server is configured. Often times it will be False when running in development on localhost and True for production environments.
The following is example of a configuration for Elastic Cloud:
>>> from elastic_app_search import Client
>>> client = Client(
base_endpoint='77bf13bc2e9948729af339a446b06ddcc.app-search.us-east-1.aws.found.io/api/as/v1',
api_key='private-mu75psc5egt9ppzuycnc2mc3',
use_https=True
)Swiftype.com App Search users:
When using the SaaS version available on swiftype.com of App Search, you can configure the client using your host_identifier instead of the base_endpoint parameter.
The host_identifier can be found within the Credentials menu.
>>> from elastic_app_search import Client
>>> host_identifier = 'host-c5s2mj'
>>> api_key = 'private-mu75psc5egt9ppzuycnc2mc3'
>>> client = Client(host_identifier, api_key)Indexing: Creating or Updating a Single Document
