Hi, I am trying to send query with Swift, but it returns error below. `Routing Error. The path you have requested is invalid.` My code is below (Using ElasticSwift) ```auto let host = "myEndPoint" let cred = BasicClientCredential(username: "elastic", password: "myPasswordHere") let settings = Settings(forHost: host, withCredentials: cred, adaptorConfig: URLSessionAdaptorConfiguration.default) client = ElasticClient(settings: settings) let queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery() let match = try QueryBuilders.matchQuery() .set(field: "name") .set(value: "") .build() queryBuilder.must(query: match) let query = try queryBuilder.build() let request = try SearchRequestBuilder() .set(indices: "my-index-000001") .set(query: query) .build() client.search(request, completionHandler: handler) ``` I've changed parameters, password, username... but nothing seems to be working... Thank you in advance for your support. ---

Hey, are you able to share the full HTTP request and response from Elasticsearch in order to debug this further? Thanks! --Alex ---

I assume that the `my-index-000001` index does not exist. Did you create it? ---

I've created the index following this page before. > **[Create index API | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.0\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html)** I've checked again. ![スクリーンショット 2022-02-24 20.09.13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/c/3c8a2c2a7e4e77a48569155491f3dcca0d5b0708.jpeg) It seems it does exist. Am I missing some steps perhaps? ---

By setting the correct privileges for the user account you are trying to run the request as. Alternatively you can try and go with the same user/passwrod that you used to login with Kibana. ---

Is that here? I've tried all the privileges, but still not working... ![スクリーンショット 2022-02-25 19.21.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/7/a77232b6babaebb4694dd72e0a6e91301f5e5cea.jpeg) ---

Just to reiterate, you are using the same username/password when logging into Kibana as you are using for your code example? Running `GET my-index-000001/_search` works in kibana console? ---

Which user are you logged in Kibana as (You can check by hovering over the top right icon)? Does that user have the same privileges than the user you are using in your code snippet? ---

When you are trying to use curl or another command line HTTP client against the endpoint specified in your script,does that work? ---

I've looked into the http request of script below, ```auto let queryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery() let match = try QueryBuilders.matchQuery() .set(field: "name") .set(value: "") .build() queryBuilder.must(query: match) let query = try queryBuilder.build() let request = try SearchRequestBuilder() .set(indices: "my-index-000001") .set(query: query) .build() client.search(request, completionHandler: handler) ``` The request body was ```auto {"query":{"bool":{"must":[{"match":{"name":{"query":""}}}]}}} ``` So I entered to curl like below, then it showed successful result. ![スクリーンショット 2022-03-04 10.57.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/3/0386ddde0df2289a7cee824169cc0273fcff1570.jpeg) ---
