Is there any way to exclude a particular index using cat API in elastic search?

I am writing a shell script that will take back-ups. The problem is the argument should be cURL request and the parameter passed with URL should ignore a particular index. I read ES cat API document but was not able to figure out and the other answers give grep as the solution.

health status index green open abcd green open efgh green open ijkl green open mnop green open qrst

Commands Executed is: curl -X GET "http://hostname:port/_cat/indices/*,-efgh" curl -s http://hostname:port/_cat/indices | grep -v "efgh"

I want to ignore efgh while rest of the indices should be printed. Help would be appreciated

Error: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"efgh","index_uuid":"na","index":"efgh"}],"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"efgh","index_uuid":"na","index":"efgh"},"status":404}

You can use the following syntax:

GET _cat/indices/*,-efgh

which means "include everything, but efgh"

In curl, it would give this:

curl -s -XGET 'hostname:post/_cat/indices/*,-efgh*'
