Connecting to Elasticsearch node in Elastic cloud through python promt

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I just did this

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

# you can use RFC-1738 to specify the url

# ... or specify common parameters as kwargs

es = Elasticsearch(
    cloud_id="mycluster:sdfgsdfgdsfgdsfglvdsfgsdfgdsfgmNiM2JkNzRjNDY3JGIxZTUyOWEwNTBkNjRkODZhMzIxZTBhMjU3YjRlODhh",
    http_auth=("elastic", "dsfgsdfgsdfgg"),
)

output = es.info(),

print(output, end=" ")

and it worked fine...

This also worked fine...

es = Elasticsearch(
    cloud_id="mycluster:sdfgsdfgdsfgdsfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgdsfgkODZhMzIxZTBhMjU3YjRlODhh",
    api_key=('cew-IX0BKn301Oe9gPyz', '02I9MJ4OR2GdxYqY3I3cKA'),

remember this is NOT and Elastic Cloud API key it is an Elasticsearch API key which can only be created via and API call see here

POST /_security/api_key
{
  "name": "my-api-key",
  "expiration": "1d",   
  "role_descriptors": { 
    "role-a": {
      "cluster": ["all"]
      
    }
  }
}

results

{
  "id" : "cew-IX0BKn301Oe9gPyz",
  "name" : "my-api-key",
  "expiration" : 1637026684066,
  "api_key" : "02I9MJ4OR2GdxYqY3I3cKA"
}

Please don't anyone worry those are invalid API keys
