The fts resource allows you to retrieve and edit Atlas Search analyzers and index configurations for the specified cluster.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The following table shows the modes of access each role supports.

Role
Action
Atlas UI
Atlas API
Atlas Search API
Atlas CLI
To view Atlas Search analyzers and indexes.
To create and manage Atlas Search analyzers and indexes, and assign the role to your API Key.
To create access list entries for your API Key and send the request from a client that appears in the access list for your API Key.
To create, view, edit, and delete Atlas Search indexes using the Atlas UI or API.

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/fts/indexes/{INDEX-ID}
Path Element
Type
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
string
Required
The unique identifier for the project that contains the specified cluster.
CLUSTER-NAME
string
Required
The name of the cluster containing the collection with one or more Atlas Search indexes.
INDEX-ID
string
Required
The unique identifier of the Atlas Search index. Use the Get All Atlas Search Indexes for a Collection API endpoint to find the IDs of all Atlas Search indexes.

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pageNum
integer
Optional
Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.
1
itemsPerPage
integer

100
includeCount
boolean

Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.
true
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.

false

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

The HTTP response returns a JSON document with an index definition for the specified index. An index definition contains the following elements:

Name
Type
