Response Body

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.

Required Roles¶

You must have the:

Project Data Access Read Only or higher role to view Atlas Search analyzers and indexes using the Atlas UI or API.
Project Data Access Admin or higher role to create and manage Atlas Search analyzers and indexes using the Atlas UI or API.

Resource¶

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/fts/indexes/{DATABASE-NAME}/{COLLECTION-NAME}

Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

Path Element	Type	Necessity	Description
`GROUP-ID`	string	Required	Unique identifier for the project that contains the specified cluster.
`CLUSTER-NAME`	string	Required	Name of the cluster containing the collection with one or more Atlas Search indexes.
`DATABASE-NAME`	string	Required	Name of the database containing the collection with one or more Atlas Search indexes.
`COLLECTION-NAME`	string	Required	Name of the collection with one or more Atlas Search indexes.

Request Query Parameters¶

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	Optional	Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
includeCount	boolean	Optional	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`

Request Body Parameters¶

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

Response Elements¶

The HTTP response returns a JSON document that includes an array of index definitions. Each index definition contains the following elements:

Name	Type	Description
`analyzer`	Optional	Analyzer used when creating the index.
`analyzers`	Optional	Custom analyzers used in this index.
`collectionName`	string	Name of the collection the index is on.
`database`	string	Name of the database the collection is in.
`indexID`	string	Unique identifier for the index.
`mappings`	object	Object containing index specifications for the collection fields.
`mappings` `.dynamic`	boolean	Flag indicating whether the index uses dynamic or static mappings.
`mappings` `.fields`	object	Object containing one or more field specifications.
`name`	string	Name of the index.
`searchAnalyzer`	string	Analyzer to use when searching the index.
`status`	string	Status of the index. Value can be one of the following statuses: `IN_PROGRESS` - Atlas is building or re-building the index after an edit. `STEADY` - Index is ready to use. `FAILED` - Atlas could not build the index. `MIGRATING` - Atlas cluster tier is being upgraded and indexes are migrating.
`synonyms`	array of documents	Synonyms mapping definition used in this index.
`synonyms[i]` `.analyzer`	string	Name of the analyzer used in this synonym mapping. If `mappings.dynamic` is `true`, Atlas Search uses the default analyzer, lucene.standard, for synonym mapping.
`synonyms[i]` `.name`	string	Name of the synonym mapping.
`synonyms[i]` `.source`	document	Collection details for this synonym mapping definition.
`synonyms[i]` `.source` `.collection`	string	Name of the source MongoDB collection for the synonyms.
