How to get all documents under an elasticsearch index with python client ?

Question

I'm trying to get all index document using python client but the result show me only the first document This is my python code :

res = es.search(index="92c603b3-8173-4d7a-9aca-f8c115ff5a18", doc_type="doc", body = {
'size' : 10000,
'query': {
    'match_all' : {}
}
})
print("%d documents found" % res['hits']['total'])
data = [doc for doc in res['hits']['hits']]
for doc in data:
    print(doc)
    return "%s %s %s" % (doc['_id'], doc['_source']['0'], doc['_source']['5'])

Answer 1

try "_doc" instead of "doc"

res = es.search(index="92c603b3-8173-4d7a-9aca-f8c115ff5a18", doc_type="_doc", body = {
'size' : 100,
'query': {
    'match_all' : {}
}
})

Elasticsearch by default retrieve only 10 documents. You could change this behaviour - doc here . The best practice for pagination are search after query and scroll query. It depends from your needs. Please read this answer Elastic search not giving data with big number for page size

To show all the results:

for doc in res['hits']['hits']:
    print doc['_id'], doc['_source']
