--src_service_key	SOURCE SERVICE KEY	Required
--src_index	SOURCE INDEX	Required

Examples

To export the aa index into a set of json files to your current folder run this:

python main.py --src_service xyz --src_service_key xxx --src_index aa --dst_index bb --filter_by language --action export

This command will browse your current folder for exported json files to import them into a fresh bb index (that will copy index schema from aa index):

python main.py --src_service xyz --src_service_key xxx --src_index aa --dst_index bb --filter_by language --action import

To duplicate an aa index into a new bb index inheriting its schema and populating it with its content use:

python main.py --src_service xyz --src_service_key xxx --src_index aa --dst_index bb --filter_by language --action duplicate
