Am working on a project where I would like to use elasticsearch to implement the search. But the data to be searched is gotten from an API path, So how would I index the API resource into elasticsearch and how do I auto schedule it to re-index at some intervals? For example, I want to index ALL the documents gotten for this path [https://api.github.com/gists/public](https://api.github.com/gists/public) into elasticsearch and I want elasticsearch to automatically check and update any changes to the documents after every 48hrs. Your help would really be appreciated. ---

Have a look at Logstash and its [http\_poller](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html) plugin. ---
