Error while calling _search API in Elasticsearch on an index

Question

I am using botocore's AWSRequest to make calls to Elasticsearch cluster. I am using GET method on an index with _search API as follows:

req = AWSRequest(method=method, url=proto + host + urllib.parse.quote(path), data=payload,
                 headers={'Host': host, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

path is in the following format:

/<Document-Index>/_search?q=param:param-val

I am using:

SigV4Auth(creds, 'es', region).add_auth(req)
http_session = URLLib3Session()
res = http_session.send(req.prepare())

to make the GET call to the Elastic search endpoint. I am getting the foillowing error:

Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/<Document-Index>/_search?<query_terms>] and method [GET], allowed: [POST]",
status: 405

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

looks like its a POST method call while you are making a GET method call as mentioned in error msg and method [GET], allowed: [POST], can you try changing it ? — Amit

I believe your request url is not correct, print it somewhere and check. I observed exact same error when request url is - GET test_index instead of GET test_index/_search from Kibana.
