[[indices-refresh]]
== Refresh

The refresh API allows to explicitly refresh one or more index, making
all operations performed since the last refresh available for search.
The (near) real-time capabilities depend on the index engine used. For
example, the internal one requires refresh to be called, but by default a
refresh is scheduled periodically.

--------------------------------------------------
$ curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/_refresh'

=== Multi Index

The refresh API can be applied to more than one index with a single
call, or even on `_all` the indices.

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
$ curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/kimchy,elasticsearch/_refresh'

$ curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_refresh'
