Just curious to know if there we can consume ES API (only GET Http Requests) on client side i.e. browser using JavaScript of the browser (note: not Server Side JavaScript i.e. Nodejs). Is server, as the client, the only way to consume ES API? Please guide! ---

Not sure I understood the question. Are you looking for a js client for elasticsearch? ---

@dadoonet I already know about [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/introduction.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/introduction.html) (which is for Nodejs JavaScript) but I am asking for ES API JS SDK to use at Frontend React JS. ---

Hello, I've got the same question. In front-end, what should we use to consume an elastic search server? The official JS Client is only for node.js. We certainly could consume it via fetch/axios as classic REST API, but it misses a lot of sugar methods to consume easier the server. ---

Not exactly the answer you are looking for but here is an interesting link IMO for people building their own UI on top of [Site Search](https://www.elastic.co/solutions/site-search) or [App Search](https://www.elastic.co/solutions/app-search): [https://swiftype.com/search-ui](https://swiftype.com/search-ui) Note that App Search is in beta: [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/app-search](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/app-search) I've seen some similar components on the web working on top of elasticsearch. A [google search](https://www.google.com/search?q=search+ui+elasticsearch) might gives you some results. ---

For the moment, I use Searchkit and ReactiveSearch, but I wanted to build my own queries, but with some sugar/with a client, not directly the whole payload on a raw http query. ---

Thank you, I'll have a look to Search UI. ---

I was also looking to know if we can consume The API on the client side, with Angular 8 HttpClient and working with Observable, and of course an official lib of the elastic ... ---
