Hi All,
I am trying to create a rest API with the NodeJS client so that I can retrieve data from Elastic cloud. Now when I create the client in node and return the client everything is empty.
So client.cat for example is empty. Which I would like to use to see all my available indexes. Is there something that I am missing? Because there is data in this environment which is used in an Kibana dashboard for example.
Is there anyone who can explain how I can make the data available?
-- code to create client --
const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const client = new Client({
node: 'My-URL..westeurope.azure.elastic-cloud.com:9243/',
auth: {
apiKey: {
id: 'API-ID',
api_key: 'API-Key'
}
}
})
res.json(client)
-- JSON return in web browser--
