Postman gives me the following error: "error": "no handler found for uri [/megacorp/e-CodePudding

I am just starting with Elasticsearch and I have started with adding an index, which works and I can get information about it:

GET http://localhost:9200/megacorp

"megacorp": {
    "aliases": {},
    "mappings": {},
    "settings": {
        "index": {
            "routing": {
                "allocation": {
                    "include": {"_tier_preference": "data_content"
                    }
                }
            },
            "number_of_shards": "1",
            "provided_name": "megacorp",
            "creation_date": "1657286196414",
            "number_of_replicas": "1",
            "uuid": "HbsAAv-mRziSUKGiXPMyPA",
            "version": {
                "created": "8030299"

The problem comes when I try to add a document, I get the following error:

PUT http://localhost:9200/megacorp/empoyee/1

"first_name": "John", "last_name": "Smith", "age": 25, "about": "I love to go rock climbing", "interests": ["sports", "music"]

"error": "no handler found for uri [/megacorp/empoyee/1] and method [PUT]"

I think I've done everything right, but it still does not work.

CodePudding user response：

Problem here, that you are using wrong URL in your request. According to documentation you must use use following paths for document index:

Request
PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id>

POST /<target>/_doc/

PUT /<target>/_create/<_id>

POST /<target>/_create/<_id>

So you are missing _doc or _create part.

UPDATE: cURL Example

curl -X PUT --location "http://localhost:9200/megacorp/1" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
      \"first_name\": \"John\",
      \"last_name\": \"Smith\",
      \"age\": 25,
      \"about\": \"I love to go rock climbing\",
      \"interests\": [\"sports\", \"music\"]
    }"

From elasticsearch 8.x mapping types are removed. You need to use this for indexing the documents

http://localhost:9200/megacorp/_doc/1
