Possibility to access search templates via Rest-API

[Greevee]

There should be a possibility to access the search templates and get the parameters.Because there is no way you know which search templates are possibile, if you dont have access to the file system and parse the mustache files.

I think you are looking for this: #5637, right?

[Greevee]

ya right, sorry, didnt notice. Important part is to get access to the available templates, without knowing their name!

[dadoonet]

So a

GET _search/template

that is?

I updated the issue. May be we can close this one?

[Greevee]

sorry, ill have to ask again, maybe im just confused : )

My Problem: i have some .mustache files in the "config\scripts" directory. I know how to access them via rest, thats no a problem! but i dont know the name of the templates, thats my problem, is there a way to access the available templates? in my case there are template1.mustache and template2.mustache and i want to get the 2 avaiable templates via rest, without knowing they are names template1 and template2.

if this is possible, sure, this ticket is obsolet and can be closed! :)

Hi @Greevee

We don't support returning node-level config file info via the REST API. I suggest you use indexed search templates instead, which can then be entirely managed by the REST API.
