Hi, I am running elasticsearch 8.2.3 from my laptop. Able to check health, create index but insert document is failing. Could you please help what's the problem here. C:\Users\ravich\>curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT "[https://elastic:PASSWORD@172.20.192.1:9201/customer/external/1](https://elastic:PASSWORD@172.20.192.1:9201/customer/external/1)" -d "{ "name" : "chandra"}" {"error":"no handler found for uri [/customer/external/1] and method [PUT]"} Thanks, Chandra ---

Hello @chandramouli_ravi By seeing the command , i could confirm that you are curling in windows.Try this command it will work for sure `curl -XPUT "http://elastic:PASSWORD@localhost:9200/customer/_doc/1?pretty" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d"{\"name\":\"Chandra\"}"` Keep posted !!! Thanks !!! PS: I would also request you to change the case title XPUT Failing as you are curling with PUT ---

Hi @sudhagar_ramesh Your base syntax is incorrect assuming you want to put this in the index name `customer` I'm not sure where you got the `external` part of the curl where you have that should be `_doc` which is the type... Always the type other types were eliminated in 7.x To PUT which means you can set the document ID. `curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT "https://elastic:PASSWORD@172.20.192.1:9201/customer/_doc/1" -d "{ "name" : "chandra"}"` POST where it would create its own generated document ID. `curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST "https://elastic:PASSWORD@172.20.192.1:9201/customer/_doc" -d "{ "name" : "chandra"}"` ---

For everyone's use, working command which is same as suggested. curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT "[https://elastic:password@172.20.192.1:9201/customer/\_doc/1](https://elastic:password@172.20.192.1:9201/customer/_doc/1)" -d "{"name" : "chandra"}" ---
