With REST client, enter the following:

• URL: http://localhost:9200/students/student/1
• Method: GET

With Kibana, enter the following:

GET students/student/1

You will get the following JSON as an output:

{
    "_index": "students",
    "_type": "student",
    "_id": "1",
    "_version": 1,
    "found": true,
    "_source": {
        "name": "Nilang",
        "standard": 1,
        "division": "B",
        "gender": "M"
    }
}

First, it shows the index and document type. The _id attribute represents the ID that we supplied in the http:/localhost:9200/students/student/1 URL while creating the data. If you use any existing _id, Elasticsearch will simply update that record with current values. The _version attribute represents the number of times the records are updated. The _source attribute represents the data that we supplied.
