+== Get Index
+
+The get index API allows to retrieve information about one or more indexes. 
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/'
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The above example gets the information for an index called `twitter`. Specifying an index,
+alias or wildcard expression is required.
+
+The get index API can also be applied to more than one index, or on
+all indices by using `_all` or `*` as index.
+
+[float]
+=== Filtering index information
+
+The information returned by the get API can be filtered to include only specific features 
+by specifying a comma delimited list of features in the URL:
+
+[source,js]
+--------------------------------------------------
+$ curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/_settings,_mappings'
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The above command will only return the settings and mappings for the index called `twitter`.
+
+The available features are `_settings`, `_mappings`, `_warmers` and `_aliases`.
