It seems for me that there is a mistake in the answer of this question because the _mapping endpoint in Elasticsearch send the mapping but also the analyzers information for the index.

The correct endpoint to check the configuration of the analyzers in our index is: GET /_mapping Because: GET /_mapping: This endpoint retrieves the mapping of one or more indices. The mapping includes the configuration of fields, including their types and, if applicable, the analyzers associated with text fields. Analyzers are specified in the mapping of the index under the field properties, and you can inspect them to understand how text is processed during indexing and searching. The other options are not correct: GET /_analyze: This endpoint is used to perform the analysis on a provided text string using the index's analyzers. It is for testing how text will be processed by the analyzers but does not directly show the analyzer configurations. GET /analyze: There is no specific endpoint "/analyze" in the standard Elasticsearch REST API. GET /_mappings: The correct endpoint for retrieving mappings is "/_mapping" (without the "s" at the end). This endpoint provides the mapping information for one or more indices, but it does not directly show the analyzer configurations. To inspect the analyzer configurations, you should use the "/_mapping" endpoint and look at the field properties in the mapping response.
