Does anyone have an example of what the uri/querystring looks like for a facet query? Trying to do a JSONP query with facets. Cant find anything in the documentation though. Any pointers? Cheers, Nick ---

jsonp and facets are two different things. jsonp applies to any HTTP REST API, simply add a callback with your name of the function as a parameter, and the response will be wrapped in jsonp. Regarding facets, they are part of the search request (like query, from, to, sort, ...), and documented here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest\_api/search/facets/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/search/facets/). -shay.banon On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 6:12 PM, the claw [nick.minutello@gmail.com](mailto:nick.minutello@gmail.com) wrote: > Does anyone have an example of what the uri/querystring looks like for > a facet query? > > Trying to do a JSONP query with facets.

Maybe Im misunderstanding something.... The only examples I see for facet queries involved sending a json body. Can you send body data with jsonp?? I was looking for some mention of support for facets here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest\_api/search/uri\_request/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/search/uri_request/) -Nick On Oct 7, 5:55 pm, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > jsonp and facets are two different things. jsonp applies to any HTTP REST > API, simply add a callback with your name of the function as a parameter, > and the response will be wrapped in jsonp. > > Regarding facets, they are part of the search request (like query, from, to, > sort, ...), and documented here:[http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest\_api/search/facets/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/search/facets/). > > -shay.banon > > On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 6:12 PM, the claw [nick.minute...@gmail.com](mailto:nick.minute...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Does anyone have an example of what the uri/querystring looks like for > > a facet query? > > > Trying to do a JSONP query with facets.

In terms of pure HTTP, you can use JSONP with GET and POST. Regarding actual implementations of it, I know that GET on some implementations does not accept a body, thats why the search endpoint also supports POST (yuck!). You can't define facets in the URI based request (its senseless to try and expose all the facets options there), so you can use facets when searching with a search request body. -shay.banon On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 7:53 PM, Mooky [nick.minutello@gmail.com](mailto:nick.minutello@gmail.com) wrote: > Maybe Im misunderstanding something.... > The only examples I see for facet queries involved sending a json > body.

Note also that elasticsearch HTTP endpoint supports Access-Control-Allow-Origin ( [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTTP\_access\_control](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTTP_access_control)), so you might not even need jsonp. -shay.banon On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 8:12 PM, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)wrote: > In terms of pure HTTP, you can use JSONP with GET and POST.

As far as I understand it, with jsonp, you can only do a uri get ... ie whatever you can encode into the uri ...

Ahh, wrote something wrong. I meant a body with GET request, which not all support, not jsonp. The search Rest API (GET) supports passing the whole "body" as a "source" parameter. Hackish, better check the access control option first. -shay.banon On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 8:38 PM, Mooky [nick.minutello@gmail.com](mailto:nick.minutello@gmail.com) wrote: > As far as I understand it, with jsonp, you can only do a uri get ... > ie whatever you can encode into the uri ...
