Hello All,

Is there a rest call to get the JSON representation of the built in analyzers available in Elasticsearch.  
For example if i request the "english" analyzer, I would like to get the JSON shown here  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-lang-analyzer.html#english-analyzer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-lang-analyzer.html#english-analyzer)  
Is this possible?  
Thanks for the help!

Siva

I think that should work

```
GET indexname
```

@dadoonet,

I am looking to get it before setting it on any index, looks like it is not possible.  
Thanks anyway
