Updating data in elasticsearch from urllib2 (Python)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a simple update. With curl simply I put following command
in console.

curl -XPOST
http://localhost:9200/peticiones-2014.04.08/logs/pJ_T-Lt1QW6u3luxVrI_ZQ/_update
-d '{"doc": { "Parametros" : "PruebaParametros"}}'{'doc': '{ Parametros :
PruebaParametros}'}

And it works perfectly. The problem is that I want do exactly the same
thing in a script, with urllib2 in Python. My code is:

    values = { "doc" : "{ Parametros : PruebaParametros }" }

postData = urllib.urlencode(values)
req = urllib2.Request(query, postData)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

Query is
"http://localhost:9200/peticiones-2014.04.08/logs/pJ_T-Lt1QW6u3luxVrI_ZQ/_update".
But I'm getting the following error: "urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500:
Internal Server Error"

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Josep,

you need to send the data as json, not as urlencoded, so:

values = { "doc" : "{ Parametros : PruebaParametros }" }
postData = json.dumps(values)
req = urllib2.Request(query, postData)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

but unless you have very specific requirements I'd strongly suggest
you use the official python client - http://elasticsearch-py.rtfd.org

Hope this helps,
Honza

That was so helpful! Thanks!

However, my index is not being updated... I'm gonna try Python
elasticsearch client...

Thanks again!

Your index may not be updating due to the way you are creating the doc.

values = { "doc" : "{ Parametros : PruebaParametros }" }

Should be...

values = { "doc" : { "Parametros" : "PruebaParametros" } }

-> Notice the change in quotes and where they are being placed
