AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Official Python client for Elasticsearch that handles connection pooling, node discovery, load balancing, and TLS authentication to query and manage Elasticsearch clusters.

Low friction installation with five lightweight runtime dependencies. Actively maintained with a release 9 days ago and strong upstream engagement (4385 GitHub stars, last commit 2026-08-13).

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows use in commercial and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions; attribution and license notice required.

Usage

pip install elasticsearch==9.5.0

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

client = Elasticsearch(["http://localhost:9200"])
result = client.search(index="my_index", query={"match_all": {}})

Requires Python 3.10 or later; Elasticsearch server must be running and accessible at the specified host/port.

Verdict: Production-ready official client with active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Low install friction and broad Python version support (3.10–3.14) make it a safe choice for Elasticsearch integration.

Needs verification

Whether elastic-transport and anyio are well-maintained and have their own security track records.
Performance characteristics under high concurrency or large result sets compared to alternatives.
