Searching SPARC Dataset Indices
Last updated
The SPARC metadata APIs are provided via an ElasticSearch endpoint.
Access to the metadata API is provided via an Elasticsearch pass-through.
POST https://api.scicrunch.io/elastic/v1/SPARC_Algolia_pr/_search
The pass-through is accessible at https://scicrunch.org/api/1/elastic. Similar to standard Elasticsearch APIs you must then supply an index and an action. In this case the SPARC Portal Dataset metadata (SPARC_Algolia_pr) and the search command (_search). Documentation on the Elasticsearch Search API is available at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/search.html

Management of indices is accomplished via Elasticsearch aliases. Three index aliases are provided:
SPARC_Algolia_pr
Production index for SPARC datasets
Using aliases will allow for testing on updates and enhancements to the metadata index structure. If needed additional aliases can be constructed for specialized testing.
