hello sir @dadoonet, thank you for the fast response!

may I know how to run my aggregation on **author\_id.keyword**? is it supposed to look like this?

```
'aggs' => [
				'authors' => [
					'terms' => [
						'field' => 'author_id.keyword',
						'size' => 25,
						'order' => ['_term' => 'asc']
					]
				],
			]

```

If it is correct, I've started retrieving buckets!

Again, thank you very much, appreciate it! 😃
