Heya, I'm working on a SPORE definition file [1] for Elasticsearch. Is there any file, java class, whatever where I can find all entry points or do I have to dig into documentation? Thanks for any hint.

I don't think there is any canonical reference for all REST endpoints, but their corresponding classes should all be in the org.elasticsearch.rest.action package. [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action) RestActionModule has a list of all classes involved, but not the actual endpoints. All endpoints are registered with the RestController, but all the handlers are marked as private. I once tried to find the same information, but didn't venture further.

When we faced the same problem in elasticsearch-jetty plugin, we ended up solving it by searching elasticsearch source code for the string "controller.registerHandler". This search should return you all registered REST end points. You can find a script that is doing it here [https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-jetty/blob/master/scripts/find-methods.sh](https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-jetty/blob/master/scripts/find-methods.sh) It will output results in this format: [https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-jetty/blob/master/scripts/methods.txt](https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-jetty/blob/master/scripts/methods.txt) I have to admit it's probably not the most elegant and precise method, but I think it beats digging through documentation ๐Ÿ™‚ On Monday, October 15, 2012 3:34:26 PM UTC-4, Ivan Brusic wrote: > I don't think there is any canonical reference for all REST endpoints, but > their corresponding classes should all be in the > org.elasticsearch.rest.action package. > > [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action) > > RestActionModule has a list of all classes involved, but not the actual > endpoints.
