Here is my code,

```auto
from datetime import datetime 
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, helpers
from pprint import pprint
import json 
import time 

es = Elasticsearch(['http://localhost:9200'], http_auth=('elastic', 'elastic'))

f = open("json/data.json", "r")
data = json.loads(f.read())
pprint(data)

# Closing file 
f.close()

response = helpers.bulk(
    es,
    data,
    index = "newChannel",
    doc_type = "_doc"
)

print(response)

```

When i Run this code it's give me an error like this --

```auto
le "/home/harsh/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elasticsearch/helpers/actions.py", line 187, in _process_bulk_chunk_success
