Hello there,  
I'm a Kibana/Elasticsearch learner and question may be a bit easy.  
From kibana DevTools I can get the data I want with :  
GET \_search  
{  
"\_source": ["index-pattern.title"],  
"query": {  
"term": {  
"type": "index-pattern"  
}  
}  
}

I want to convert it to Python request or NodeJS doesnt matter. A documantation, an example or a kick to right way is appreciated more than anything. So what I'm looking for is convert the call mentioned to something like

`def search(uri, term):

```
 """Simple Elasticsearch Query"""

 query = json.dumps({

     "query" : {

         "match" : {

             "content" : term

         }

     }

 })

 response = requests.get(uri, data = query)

 results = json.loads(response.text)

 return results`
```
