Hello,  
I wand a add a field by a painless (or another scripting language) to call an API data and show the result in the field by emit for example ???

To be more clearly exactly, for example i have an API [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx](http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx):yyy?v1=x1&v2=x2&ip=ip1 where ip1 can be retrieve by doc["ipadd.keyword'].value.  
Example :

```auto
def s = doc['src.keyword'].value;
def v = http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy?v1=x1&v2=x2&ip=s;
if (v ){
    return emit("True");
}
else {
	emit("False");
}

```

The task is very important for us and i need your help for this if someone directed me to the right path please.

Thanks for the support

You want painless to call an external URL? That's not possible as it's a security risk.

Hello @warkolm thanks for your response,

Is there any other way to do what I want to do without using painless but another kibana script or even with the http filter ???
