Elasticsearch bulk index api via rest endpoint

Question

Here is my request:

POST /_bulk
{ \"index\" : { \"_index\" : \"test\", \"_type\" : \"type1\", \"_id\" : \"1\" } }
{\"firstname\":\"first_name1\",\"lastname\"         


        

Answer 1

As Samyak says in his comment, "don't repeat yourself". This syntax is tidier.

post /test/_type/_bulk
{ "index": {}}
{"firstname":"first_name1","lastname":"last_name1"}
{ "index": { }}
{ "name": "Test2", "data": "This is my test data2" }

Answer 2

You're simply missing an action line for the second and third documents, try like this:

POST /_bulk
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "1" } }
{"firstname":"first_name1","lastname":"last_name1"}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "2" } }
{"firstname":"first_name2","lastname":"last_name2"}
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_type" : "type1", "_id" : "3" } }
{"firstname":"first_name3","lastname":"last_name3"}
