OpenSearch REST API

Call the full OpenSearch REST API on any Logit.io stack at https://{stack-id}-es.logit.io. This section applies to both:

Logs stacks — OpenSearch behind Logstash and OpenSearch Dashboards
OpenSearch stacks — dedicated hosted OpenSearch clusters

Authentication, ports, and API paths are the same. Copy credentials from Settings → Endpoints in the dashboard.

Not sure which API you need?

OpenSearch Dashboards REST API — Dashboards features via kibana.logit.io and Profile proxy credentials
Logit Developer API — account and stack management via dashboard.logit.io/api

Start here:
