Hi Sam,

Il looks like your are trying to use mapping types in a recent ES version (7.0+ ?). As per documentation

Indices created in Elasticsearch 6.0.0 or later may only contain a single mapping type. Indices created in 5.x with multiple mapping types will continue to function as before in Elasticsearch 6.x. Types will be deprecated in APIs in Elasticsearch 7.0.0, and completely removed in 8.0.0

Your URL should be http://localhost:9200/sg_index_checker_progress/_doc/article-2020-01-01
