I am using the following code to create an index. Don't understand what is required to fix the error.

es.indices.create(  
index= "prestotest",  
body= {  
"mappings": {  
"properties": {  
"file" : {  
"properties ": {  
"url": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"index": False  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"settings": {  
"analysis": {  
"analyzer": {  
"std\_english": {  
"type": "standard",  
"stopwords": "_english_"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
