How to retrieve data from a data stream using Elasticsearch API keys

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello from Japan
I have a question for you respected engineers.

I would like to know about Elasticsearch API keys.
I am using Winlogbeat (Ver8.11.1) to send Windows log information to Elasticsearch (Ver8.11.1).
I would like to retrieve information stored in Elasticsearch using an API key, but after upgrading to V8, the log information sent by Winlogbeat is stored as a data stream instead of an index. I found out about this.

In V7 of Elasticsearch, I was able to retrieve the contents of the index using the API key, but since V8, I am having trouble figuring out how to retrieve the contents of the data stream.

Is it possible to obtain information in the data stream using an API key?
If it is possible please tell me how.

I would like help from all of you respected ELASTIC engineers.
I await your replies and information.
Thank you

Hi,

You can use the same API key that you used to retrieve information from an index in Elasticsearch version 7.

Please note that the user associated with the API key needs to have the appropriate permissions to read from the data stream.

Hello yago82 .
Thank you for your reply.
After outputting the API in the Elastic environment, we plan to verify information acquisition in the data stream.
Your answer helped us.
thank you
