      "_index": "index",
      "_id": "id",
      "_source": {
        "location": "document-name"
      }

      }
    }
  ]

All URL parameters are optional.

Parameter Type Description
verbose boolean Verbose mode. Display data output for each processor in executed pipeline.

Request body fields

Field Required Type Description

Receive verbose response

With the verbose parameter set to true, the response shows how each processor transforms the specified document.
