Hey,

When I first start using Elasticsearc I used Swiftype, but now it's closed and I moved to elastic cloud.  
My problem is that in my code I'm using the host identifier to authenticate the account, but now, there is no host identifier in my elastic app search account, only API Endpoint.  
I'm using Javascript.

Please advice,  
Thanks,  
Asaf

Welcome to our community! 😃

Swiftype is now part of our [Enterprise Search](https://www.elastic.co/enterprise-search) set of solutions. I'll move this topic there.

Hi Asaf,

You won't need to host identifier with Elastic Cloud. Just the API endpoint will suffice.
