I am having difficulties with this: all the following return 405, and I have no idea why:
data = {
"xxx" : "status",
"value" : "incomplete"
}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.post(f'http://localhost:9200/my_index', data=json.dumps(data))
response = requests.post(f'http://localhost:9200/my_index', data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
response = requests.post(f'http://localhost:9200/my_index', json=data)
response = requests.post(f'http://localhost:9200/my_index', json=data, headers=headers)
NB I have also tried with "http://localhost:9200/my_index/_doc" instead: they all get 406.
ES is definitely running, I am able to use Postman, and curl at the CLI.
requests.put with the above attempts (ending ".../_doc/1") gets either 406 or 401, except for one of the above:
response = requests.put(f'http://localhost:9200/my_index/_doc/2', data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)
... which works (201 or 200 depending on whether the index already exists).
OS is Linux Mint 20. ES is 7.16.3.
According to the docs, you must put _doc after the index name:
PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id>
POST /<target>/_doc/
You can choose whether Elastic will create the id for you, or you can also specify an id.
