Get async SQL search results Added in 7.15.0

GET /_sql/async/{id}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Get the current status and available results for an async SQL search or stored synchronous SQL search.

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, only the user who first submitted the SQL search can retrieve the search using this API.

Path parameters

  • id string Required

    The identifier for the search.

Query parameters

  • delimiter string

    The separator for CSV results. The API supports this parameter only for CSV responses.

  • format string

    The format for the response. You must specify a format using this parameter or the Accept HTTP header. If you specify both, the API uses this parameter.

  • keep_alive string

    The retention period for the search and its results. It defaults to the keep_alive period for the original SQL search.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • wait_for_completion_timeout string

    The period to wait for complete results. It defaults to no timeout, meaning the request waits for complete search results.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Responses

  • 200 application/json
    Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • id string Required
    • is_running boolean Required

      If true, the search is still running. If false, the search has finished. This value is returned only for async and saved synchronous searches. For CSV, TSV, and TXT responses, this value is returned in the Async-partial HTTP header.

    • is_partial boolean Required

      If true, the response does not contain complete search results. If is_partial is true and is_running is true, the search is still running. If is_partial is true but is_running is false, the results are partial due to a failure or timeout. This value is returned only for async and saved synchronous searches. For CSV, TSV, and TXT responses, this value is returned in the Async-partial HTTP header.

      Column headings for the search results. Each object is a column.
