Hi There,

I am currently refering to this tutorial on using python API to index document to the elastic app search engine.

> **[elastic-app-search](https://pypi.org/project/elastic-app-search/)**
>
> An API client for Elastic App Search

The code works fine but after going to the Swiftype App Search dashboard at localhost:3002 , it is not showing the index documents.

Any suggestions as to why it is not updating? Thank you.

What was the output when you ran the index command?

Make sure you instantiated your client with the correct credentials from the "Credentials" tab on your App Search Dashboard, don't use the host\_identifier and api\_key from the example, make sure you've replaced them with your own.

Go to the "API Logs" tab and check whether or not those index requests were actually made on your engine. They will appear there if so.
