The InterLex APIs are provided via an ElasticSearch endpoint.
Access to the InterLex API is provided via an Elasticsearch pass-through.
{% swagger baseUrl="https://api.scicrunch.io" path="/elastic/v1/Interlex_pr/_search" method="post" summary="Elasticsearch Pass-Through" %}
{% swagger-description %}
The pass-through is accessible at https://scicrunch.org/api/1/elastic. Similar to standard Elasticsearch APIs you must then supply an index and an action. In this case the Interlex index (Interlex_pr) and the search command (_search).
Documentation on the Elasticsearch Search API is available at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/search.html

Management of indices is accomplished via Elasticsearch aliases. The index aliases are provided:
Index Alias | Description |
---|---|
Interlex_pr | Production Interlex index |
Using aliases will allow for testing on updates and enhancements to the index structure. If needed additional aliases can be constructed for specialized testing.
