How can i connect to Elastic Cloud \> App Search's Endpoint with "search-key" , when using Java client? ![Screen_Shot_2022-02-23_at_5_44_25_PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/e/de533430c825884fc91097f4f1831bd9d9ce14f1.png) [Docs show only a localhost sample](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/connecting.html) as ```auto RestClient restClient = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200)).build(); ElasticsearchTransport transport = new RestClientTransport(restClient, new JacksonJsonpMapper()); ElasticsearchClient client = new ElasticsearchClient(transport); ``` I'm looking for something like this example [using Javascript] ([Connecting | Elasticsearch JavaScript Client [8.4] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/current/client-connecting.html)) ---

The Rest client is for Elasticsearch and not AppSearch yet AFAIK. There's no Java client for it: [Programming language clients | Elastic Enterprise Search Documentation [8.0] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/8.0/programming-language-clients.html) In the past, I used some code from Swiftype. I put it there: [injector/src/main/java/com/swiftype/appsearch at main · dadoonet/injector · GitHub](https://github.com/dadoonet/injector/tree/main/src/main/java/com/swiftype/appsearch) May be that could help? ---

Thanks @dadoonet The terminology is confusing. On careful observation.. On the website, All Products.. - Enterprise Search - Websites, Apps and Workplace search - [Enterprise Search Clients](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search-clients/index.html) does not have Java. - Elasticsearch - Elasticsearch - [Elasticsearch Clients](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html) has Java. In my Elastic Cloud.. I see: - Enterprise Search - App Search - Workplace Search So, I guess we need to use "[Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch)" and cannot use the "Elastic Cloud" since we would be using Java and it is not ready yet. Under "Elasticsearch \> Deploy on Elastic Cloud" is misleading! ![Screen_Shot_2022-02-24_at_8_55_35_AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/2/e2e17f1e612847c63e84ca6a941e96962d1aaa0b.png) ---

Elasticsearch is part of the Elastic Stack. The stack is deployable on [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co). There you will have Elasticsearch and Kibana (and other services if needed). On cloud: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/e/0e18bb8334e13417cb1b5699db12f0e63ba53511.png) Whenever it's deployed on cloud or on premise, you can use the Elasticsearch Java client to connect to it. Enterprise Search is a solution running on top of the Elastic Stack. It needs Elasticsearch and Kibana to run. It can also be deployed on [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co) or on premise. For this one, there is no official Java client AFAIK but you can build your own, just like I shared. Then it can connect to both [cloud.elastic.co](http://cloud.elastic.co) or to the on premise service. ---

Thanks @dadoonet I ran another deployment on Elastic Cloud. I removed "Enterprise Search" and opted for Elasticsearch and Kibana. I do not see the "Elasticsearch" option. ![Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 11.46.51 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/b/9b0a994588ccaa28cfb5759aa707ca9508fbb3d8.png) I do not want to prolong this here. Will reach out to cloud team to see if someone can help us. ---

When you see this screen, it means that Elasticsearch is running. Just go to manage this deployment. And you will get the cloud\_id or the Elasticsearch URL. ---
