Get field mapping APIedit
Retrieves mapping definitions for one or more fields. This is useful if you don’t need the complete mapping of an index or your index contains a large number of fields.
GET /twitter/_mapping/field/user
Path parametersedit
-
<index>
- (Optional, string) Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of index names used to limit the request.
-
<field>
- (Optional, string) Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of fields used to limit returned information.
Query parametersedit
-
allow_no_indices
-
(Optional, boolean) If
true
, the request does not return an error if a wildcard expression or_all
value retrieves only missing or closed indices.This parameter also applies to index aliases that point to a missing or closed index.
Defaults to
true
. -
expand_wildcards
-
(Optional, string) Controls what kind of indices that wildcard expressions can expand to. Multiple values are accepted when separated by a comma, as in
open,hidden
. Valid values are:-
all
- Expand to open and closed indices, including hidden indices.
-
open
- Expand only to open indices.
-
closed
- Expand only to closed indices.
-
hidden
-
Expansion of wildcards will include hidden indices.
Must be combined with
open
,closed

Examplesedit
Example with index setupedit
You can provide field mappings when creating a new index. The following
create index API request creates the publications
index with several field mappings.
PUT /publications { "mappings": { "properties": { "id": { "type": "text" }, "title": { "type": "text"}, "abstract": { "type": "text"}, "author": { "properties": { "id": { "type": "text" }, "name": { "type": "text" } } } } } }
The following returns the mapping of the field title
only:
GET publications/_mapping/field/title
The API returns the following response:
{ "publications": { "mappings": { "title": { "full_name": "title", "mapping": { "title": { "type": "text" } } } } } }
Specifying fieldsedit
The get mapping api allows you to specify a comma-separated list of fields.
For instance to select the id
of the author
field, you must use its full name author.id
.
GET publications/_mapping/field/author.id,abstract,name
returns:
{ "publications": { "mappings": { "author.id": { "full_name": "author.id", "mapping": { "id": { "type": "text" } } }, "abstract": { "full_name": "abstract", "mapping": { "abstract": { "type": "text" } } } } } }
The get field mapping API also supports wildcard notation.
GET publications/_mapping/field/a*
returns:
{ "publications": { "mappings": { "author.name": { "full_name": "author.name", "mapping": { "name": { "type": "text" } } }, "abstract": { "full_name": "abstract", "mapping": { "abstract": { "type": "text" } } }, "author.id": { "full_name": "author.id", "mapping": { "id": { "type": "text" } } } } } }
Multiple indices and fieldsedit
The get field mapping API can be used to get the mapping of multiple fields from more than one index
with a single call. General usage of the API follows the
following syntax: host:port/<index>/_mapping/field/<field>
where
<index>
and <field>
can stand for comma-separated list of names or wild cards. To
get mappings for all indices you can use _all
for <index>
. The
following are some examples:
GET /twitter,kimchy/_mapping/field/message GET /_all/_mapping/field/message,user.id GET /_all/_mapping/field/*.id
