Request

{
    "type": "select"
    "index": string,
    "query": {
        "aggs": {
            "values"[]: {
                "field": FieldObject,

}

Request has the following parameters:

• query – Object. A query object.
  • aggs – Object. Query aggregations. The part of the query that specifies which data should be aggregated and how.
    • values – Array. Values to aggregate. Fields that have at least one supported aggregation defined in the schema can be selected for the query as values.
      • field – Field Object.
      • func – String. Aggregation function name. For each field, the list of supported aggregations is defined in the response to the /fields request. Supported values may include: "sum", "count", "distinctcount", "average", "median", "product", "min", "max", "stdevp", "stdevs", "none". Note: for the fields of the "number" type, Flexmonster Pivot supports built-in front-end aggregations.
    • by – Object. Fields to aggregate by.
      • rows – Array of Field Objects. Fields in rows.
      • cols – Array of Field Objects. Fields in columns.
  • filter (optional) – Array of Filter Objects. Query filters. The part of a query that specifies which filters should be applied. Each field with a filter is represented by a separate object.
  • page – Number. A page number. It can be used to load data by parts. If a response contains the pageTotal parameter, additional requests will be performed to load the remaining pages. Starts from 0.
