Multi search API

edit

Submit multiple searches and receive multiple sets of results with metadata.

GET /api/as/v1/engines/<engine_name>/multi_search
POST /api/as/v1/engines/<engine_name>/multi_search

Request body

edit
queries (required)

Array of objects, where each object represents a search API request body.

The length of the array must be less than or equal to 10.

Within a single request, you are submitting multiple searches. The analytics APIs therefore count each search within the request as a separate query.

Response body

edit

Array of objects, where each object represents a search API response body.

Three giant sequoia groves, along with a pristine wilderness in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, are home to a wide variety of rare plant and animal species."
