Creating a One Field Index via the REST API

      +

      This example quickly creates the same index as Creating a One Field Index via the UI.

      The cURL command below was initially created via the Classic Editor in the UI, however the follwoing modifications were made.

      • The curl flag "-s" to suppress some runtime output.

      • The credentials "-u <username>:<password>" were altered to "-u ${CB_USERNAME}:${CB_PASSWORD}".

      • The hostname or IP address was replaced with ${CB_HOSTNAME}.

      • The commands output is piped through the utility jq to enhance readability.

      • The two (2) UUIDs were removed (similar to the below) because we want to make a new index not modify an existing one.

          "uuid": "273a60635f5248e5",
          "sourceUUID": "2b421d183cb76aebbffa45424736ec2e",

      The Creation Command

      The full command to create the index is below and can be executed verbatim if you have the environment variable ${CB_USERNAME}, ${CB_PASSWORD} and ${CB_HOSTNAME} set.

      curl -s -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -u ${CB_USERNAME}:${CB_PASSWORD} http://${CB_HOSTNAME}:8094/api/index/landmark-content-index -d \

      If you successfully create the index you should a response liekt the follwoing

      {
        "status": "ok",
        "uuid": "22ab3f601349af9d"
      }

      Test the One Field Index with a simple query

      Request the first 10 items where the content field in the collection travel-sample.inventory.landmark has documents with: "view", "food", and "beach"

      curl -s -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -u ${CB_USERNAME}:${CB_PASSWORD} http://${CB_HOSTNAME}:8094/api/index/landmark-content-index/query \

      The output of a three (3) hits (from a total of 3 matching docs) is as follows

      Test the One Field Index with a more complex query

      Request the first 10 items where the content field in the collection travel-sample.inventory.landmark has documents with: "view", "food", and "beach". However in this case we will display any fields and highlight text, this is possible because of the features we put into the index.

      curl -s -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -u ${CB_USERNAME}:${CB_PASSWORD} http://${CB_HOSTNAME}:8094/api/index/landmark-content-index/query \
