+= Groovy API
+:ref:  http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current
+:java: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current
+
+[preface]
+== Preface
+
+This section describes the http://groovy.codehaus.org/[Groovy] API
+elasticsearch provides. All elasticsearch APIs are executed using a
+<<client,GClient>>, and are completely
+asynchronous in nature (they either accept a listener, or return a
+future).
+
+The Groovy API is a wrapper on top of the
+{java}[Java API] exposing it in a groovier
+manner. The execution options for each API follow a similar manner and
+covered in <<anatomy>>.
+
+
+[[maven]]
+=== Maven Repository
+
+The Groovy API is hosted on
+http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ca%3A%22elasticsearch-client-groovy%22[Maven
+Central].
+
+For example, you can define the latest version in your `pom.xml` file:
+
+[source,xml]
