[[indices-clearcache]] == Clear Cache The clear cache API allows to clear either all caches or specific cached associated with one or more indices. [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- $ curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/_cache/clear' -------------------------------------------------- The API, by default, will clear all caches. Specific caches can be cleaned explicitly by setting `query`, `fielddata` or `request`. All caches relating to a specific field(s) can also be cleared by specifying `fields` parameter with a comma delimited list of the relevant fields. [float] === Multi Index The clear cache API can be applied to more than one index with a single call, or even on `_all` the indices.
