Best way to check a document has been indexed

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I'm developing a piece of code that inserts a document into an
elastcisearch server. The code uses libcurl to setup an HTTP request and
capture the response.
So, in order to check wether a document has been properly indexed, what is
the official or proper way to do it?

This is an example of a correct indexed document response:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 92

{"_index":"someindex","_type":"sometype","_id":"fsAx6qXcQGCSrY1DWvQACw","_version":1,"created":true}

Should my program check that first header line contains "201 Created", what
should happen if a 3xx redirection occurs? should I consider it as properly
indexed too?

Or instead should I just ignore the header and just check that the last
part of the body string equals ' "created":true} ' ?

Thank you!

Hi ,

Just check if its 200 ( Indexed ) or 201 ( Created ) .
HTTP status code alone should be sufficient.

Thanks
