Unhashable type 'dict' when trying to send an Elasticsearch geo query

Question

I'm trying to get some geodata out of ES via the following snippet:

result = es.search(
    index="loc",
    body={
        {
            "filtered" : {
                "query" : {
                    "field" : { "text" : "restaurant" }
                },
                "filter" : {
                    "geo_distance" : {
                        "distance" : "12km",
                        "location" : {
                            "lat" : 40,
                            "lon" : -70
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
)

The query however doesn't succeed due to the following error:

"lon" : -70
TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'

The location field is correctly mapped to the geo_point type and the query is taken from the official examples. Is there something wrong with the way I wrote the query?

Answer 1

You are nesting a dict inside a set. Remove outer curly braces to resolve the issue. The error stems from the fact that sets, dicts can't contain unhashable collections like e.g. dict (thanks @Matthias).

body=
        {
            "filtered" : {
                "query" : {
                    "field" : { "text" : "restaurant" }
                },
                "filter" : {
                    "geo_distance" : {
                        "distance" : "12km",
                        "location" : {
                            "lat" : 40,
                            "lon" : -70
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
