go-elasticsearch
The official Go client for Elasticsearch.
Compatibility
Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater or equal minor versions of Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and without guarantees made.
When using Go modules, include the version in the import path, and specify either an explicit version or a branch:
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7 7.16
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7 7.0.0
It's possible to use multiple versions of the client in a single project:
// go.mod
github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v6 6.x
github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7 7.16
// main.go
import (
elasticsearch6 "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v6"
elasticsearch7 "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7"
)
// ...
es6, _ := elasticsearch6.NewDefaultClient()
es7, _ := elasticsearch7.NewDefaultClient()
The main branch of the client is compatible with the current master branch of Elasticsearch.
Installation
Add the package to your go.mod file:
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8 main
Or, clone the repository:
git clone --branch main https://github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch
A complete example:
mkdir my-elasticsearch-app && cd my-elasticsearch-app
cat > go.mod <<-END
module my-elasticsearch-app
require github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v8 main
END
cat > main.go <<-END
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7"
)
func main() {
es, _ := elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient()
log.Println(elasticsearch.Version)
log.Println(es.Info())
}
END
go run main.go
Usage
The elasticsearch package ties together two separate packages for calling the Elasticsearch APIs and transferring data over HTTP: esapi and estransport, respectively.
Use the elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient() function to create the client with the default settings.
es, err := elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error creating the client: %s", err)
}
res, err := es.Info()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error getting response: %s", err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
log.Println(res)
// [200 OK] {
// "name" : "node-1",
// "cluster_name" : "go-elasticsearch"
// ...
NOTE: It is critical to both close the response body and to consume it, in order to re-use persistent TCP connections in the default HTTP transport. If you're not interested in the response body, call
io.Copy(ioutil.Discard, res.Body).
When you export the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable,
it will be used to set the cluster endpoint(s). Separate multiple adresses by a comma.
To set the cluster endpoint(s) programatically, pass a configuration object
to the elasticsearch.NewClient() function.
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
Addresses: []string{
"http://localhost:9200",
"http://localhost:9201",
},
// ...
}
es, err := elasticsearch.NewClient(cfg)
To set the username and password, include them in the endpoint URL, or use the corresponding configuration options.
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
// ...
Username: "foo",
Password: "bar",
}
To set a custom certificate authority used to sign the certificates of cluster nodes,
use the CACert configuration option.
cert, _ := ioutil.ReadFile(*cacert)
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
// ...
CACert: cert,
}
To configure other HTTP settings, pass an http.Transport
object in the configuration object.
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
Transport: &http.Transport{
MaxIdleConnsPerHost: 10,
ResponseHeaderTimeout: time.Second,
TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12,
// ...
},
// ...
},
}
See the _examples/configuration.go and
_examples/customization.go files for
more examples of configuration and customization of the client.
See the _examples/security for an example of a security configuration.
The following example demonstrates a more complex usage. It fetches the Elasticsearch version from the cluster, indexes a couple of documents concurrently, and prints the search results, using a lightweight wrapper around the response body.

// =====================================
As you see in the example above, the esapi package allows to call the Elasticsearch APIs in two distinct ways: either by creating a struct, such as IndexRequest, and calling its Do() method by passing it a context and the client, or by calling the Search() function on the client directly, using the option functions such as WithIndex(). See more information and examples in the
package documentation.
The estransport package handles the transfer of data to and from Elasticsearch, including retrying failed requests, keeping a connection pool, discovering cluster nodes and logging.
Read more about the client internals and usage in the following blog posts:

- https://www.elastic.co/blog/the-go-client-for-elasticsearch-working-with-data
Helpers
The esutil package provides convenience helpers for working with the client. At the moment, it provides the esutil.JSONReader() and the esutil.BulkIndexer helpers.
Examples
The _examples folder contains a number of recipes and comprehensive examples to get you started with the client, including configuration and customization of the client, using a custom certificate authority (CA) for security (TLS), mocking the transport for unit tests, embedding the client in a custom type, building queries, performing requests individually and in bulk, and parsing the responses.

Overview ¶
Package elasticsearch provides a Go client for Elasticsearch.
Create the client with the NewDefaultClient function:
elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient()
The ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable is used instead of the default URL, when set. Use a comma to separate multiple URLs.
To configure the client, pass a Config object to the NewClient function:
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
Addresses: []string{
"http://localhost:9200",
"http://localhost:9201",
},
Username: "foo",
Password: "bar",
Transport: &http.Transport{
MaxIdleConnsPerHost: 10,
ResponseHeaderTimeout: time.Second,
DialContext: (&net.Dialer{Timeout: time.Second}).DialContext,
TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12,
},
},
}
elasticsearch.NewClient(cfg)
When using the Elastic Service (https://elastic.co/cloud), you can use CloudID instead of Addresses. When either Addresses or CloudID is set, the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable is ignored.
See the elasticsearch_integration_test.go file and the _examples folder for more information.
Call the Elasticsearch APIs by invoking the corresponding methods on the client:
res, err := es.Info()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error getting response: %s", err)
}
log.Println(res)
See the github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/esapi package for more information about using the API.
See the github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/estransport package for more information about configuring the transport.

Functions ¶
Types ¶
type Client ¶
type Client struct {
*esapi.API // Embeds the API methods
Transport estransport.Interface
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Client represents the Elasticsearch client.
func NewClient ¶
NewClient creates a new client with configuration from cfg.
It will use http://localhost:9200 as the default address.
It will use the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable, if set, to configure the addresses; use a comma to separate multiple URLs.
If either cfg.Addresses or cfg.CloudID is set, the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable is ignored.
It's an error to set both cfg.Addresses and cfg.CloudID.
Example ¶
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
Addresses: []string{
"http://localhost:9200",
},
Username: "foo",
Password: "bar",
Transport: &http.Transport{
MaxIdleConnsPerHost: 10,
ResponseHeaderTimeout: time.Second,
DialContext: (&net.Dialer{Timeout: time.Second}).DialContext,
TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS12,
},
},
}
es, _ := elasticsearch.NewClient(cfg)
log.Print(es.Transport.(*estransport.Client).URLs())
Output:
Example (Logger) ¶
// import "github.com/elastic/go-elasticsearch/v7/estransport"
// Use one of the bundled loggers:
//
// * estransport.TextLogger
// * estransport.ColorLogger
// * estransport.CurlLogger
// * estransport.JSONLogger
cfg := elasticsearch.Config{
Logger: &estransport.ColorLogger{Output: os.Stdout},
}
elasticsearch.NewClient(cfg)
Output:
func NewDefaultClient ¶
NewDefaultClient creates a new client with default options.
It will use http://localhost:9200 as the default address.
It will use the ELASTICSEARCH_URL environment variable, if set, to configure the addresses; use a comma to separate multiple URLs.
Example ¶
es, err := elasticsearch.NewDefaultClient()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error creating the client: %s\n", err)
}
res, err := es.Info()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error getting the response: %s\n", err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
log.Print(es.Transport.(*estransport.Client).URLs())
Output:
