Passing the security credentials in REST Search API

mruthyu · January 14, 2020, 8:14am

I am looking for the way to transfer the credential details for the REST Search API request.
Checked the API specification and haven't found any fields.

github.com

elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/rest-api-spec/src/main/resources/rest-api-spec/api/search.json

{
  "search":{
    "documentation":{
      "url":"https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/search-search.html",
      "description":"Returns results matching a query."
    },
    "stability":"stable",
    "url":{
      "paths":[
        {
          "path":"/_search",
          "methods":[
            "GET",
            "POST"
          ]
        },
        {
          "path":"/{index}/_search",
          "methods":[
            "GET",

Would like to know how the authentication and authorization is being handled when we directly interact with Elasticsearch through API.

Hey,

you can use basic authentication supplying a username and a password in the Authorization header.
