I would like to do elastic search bulk get operation with multiple document Id's using python. But I could able to find proper solution.

Code which I'm using to get the single document based on document Id.  
import elasticsearch  
es=Elasticsearch()  
result\_dict=es.get(index=indexname, doc\_type=doctype,id="TEST")

I would like to get for multiple Id's like : TEST, TEST1, TEST2, etc ...

Any help would appreciated .

You have to use this API [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/docs-multi-get.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/docs-multi-get.html) not the get api.

I don't know how you write it in python.
