Flask-ESearch

This is a Flask extension proving simple integration with Elasticsearch using python 3

Requirements

1. Flask >= 1.XXX
2. Elasticsearch>=6.4.6
3. Python >= 3.8

How to use

1. Install the package:

   pip install Flask-ESearch

2. In your main app file:

   from datetime import datetime
   
   from flask import Flask, make_response
   from flask_esearch import ESearch
   
   app = Flask(__name__)
   
   # CREATE A ESearch CLIENT
   es = ESearch()
   es.init_app(app)
   
   
   @app.route('/')
   def hello_world():
       doc = {
           'author': 'kimchy',
           'text': 'Elasticsearch: cool. bonsai cool.',
           'timestamp': datetime.now(),
       }
       try:
           res = es.index(index="test-index", id=1, body=doc)
           return make_response(res['result'], 200)
       except Exception:
           res = es.get(index="test-index", id=1)
           return make_response(res['_source'], 200)
   
   
   app.run(debug=True, port=5001)

The above is an example of a Flask app integrating Flask-ESearch and an endpoint

1. The instance allows to perform Elasticsearch queries. More info here.
2. Testing access http://127.0.0.1:5001/.
   1. If is the first access, will show Created or else the record inserted
