The official Python client for Elasticsearch, providing low-level access to the full Elasticsearch API with sync and async support. It includes persistent connections, node discovery and load balancing, bulk helpers, an ES|QL query builder, and a DSL module.
Use cases
- index and search documents in elasticsearch from python
- build a RAG application backed by elasticsearch vector search
- bulk ingest large datasets into an elasticsearch cluster
- run ES|QL or Query DSL queries from python
- connect to elastic cloud with api keys
- manage indices and mappings programmatically
When to choose
- you use Elasticsearch or Elastic Cloud from Python and want an officially supported client
- you need sync and async APIs with connection pooling and load balancing
- you want bulk ingestion helpers and a typed query DSL
When to avoid
- you use a different search engine like OpenSearch without compatibility guarantees
- you need a non-Python language client
- you want a standalone search engine rather than a client library
