ECE

Elastic Cloud Enterprise is a self-managed orchestration platform for deploying and managing the Elastic Stack at scale.

Availability

  • Generally available

    This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage.

This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

You can build an API client in the language of your choice or use your favorite OpenAPI-enabled development tool.

You can obtain the RESTful API specification directly from Elastic Cloud Enterprise:

Shell 
curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/api-docs/swagger.json
TOKEN
A token for a user with sufficient privileges, such as the admin user.

We use the OpenAPI specification to generate our own API Reference, but you can also use it for automation and to develop your own software layer around Elastic Cloud Enterprise. For example, you can use the API specification in the Swagger Editor to read through our reference content and to generate a client in many different languages.
