Hello,

I want to use bulk api with ajax. I want to take data from a json file in server.

How can I take data from an json url ?

$.ajax({  
type: "POST",  
async: false,  
url: '[http://localhost:9200/test/\_bulk](http://localhost:9200/test/_bulk)',  
data: data, // When I write a json file name it doesnt work example test.json  
dataType: "json",  
contentType: "application/text; charset=utf-8",  
success: function(text) {

```
         },
         error: function(err) {
             
         }
     });

```

thanks a lot
