Request examples
Run `POST /_scripts/painless/_execute`. The `painless_test` context is the default context. It runs scripts without additional parameters. The only variable that is available is `params`, which can be used to access user defined values. The result of the script is always converted to a string.
{
  "script": {
    "source": "params.count / params.total",
    "params": {
      "count": 100.0,
      "total": 1000.0
    }
  }
}
Run `POST /_scripts/painless/_execute` with a `filter` context. It treats scripts as if they were run inside a script query. For testing purposes, a document must be provided so that it will be temporarily indexed in-memory and is accessible from the script. More precisely, the `_source`, stored fields, and doc values of such a document are available to the script being tested.
{
  "script": {
    "source": "doc['field'].value.length() <= params.max_length",
    "params": {
      "max_length": 4
    }
  },
  "context": "filter",
  "context_setup": {
    "index": "my-index-000001",
    "document": {
      "field": "four"
    }
  }
}
Run `POST /_scripts/painless/_execute` with a `score` context. It treats scripts as if they were run inside a `script_score` function in a `function_score` query.
{
  "script": {
    "source": "doc['rank'].value / params.max_rank",
    "params": {
      "max_rank": 5.0
    }
  },
  "context": "score",
  "context_setup": {
    "index": "my-index-000001",
    "document": {
      "rank": 4
    }
  }
