=== Get mapping API
++++
<titleabbrev>Get mapping</titleabbrev>
++++
Retrieves <<mapping,mapping definitions>> for one or more indices. For data
streams, the API retrieves mappings for the stream's backing indices.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /my-index-000001/_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_index]
[[get-mapping-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /_mapping`
`GET /<target>/_mapping`
[[get-mapping-api-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the
`view_index_metadata` or `manage` <<privileges-list-indices,index privilege>>
for the target data stream, index, or alias.
[[get-mapping-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<target>`::
(Optional, string) Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases
used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (`*`). To target all data streams
and indices, omit this parameter or use `*` or `_all`.
[[get-mapping-api-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=allow-no-indices]

Defaults to `true`.
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=expand-wildcards]

Defaults to `open`.

===== Multiple data streams and indices
The get mapping API can be used to get more than one data stream or index with a
single call. General usage of the API follows the following syntax:
`host:port/<target>/_mapping` where `<target>` can accept a comma-separated
list of names. To get mappings for all data streams and indices in a cluster, use `_all` or `*` for `<target>`
or omit the `<target>` parameter.
The following are some examples:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /my-index-000001,my-index-000002/_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/^/PUT my-index-000001\nPUT my-index-000002\n/]
If you want to get mappings of all indices in a cluster, the following
examples are equivalent:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /*/_mapping
GET /_all/_mapping
GET /_mapping
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_index]
