Get store information about replica shards in one or more indices.
For data streams, the API retrieves store information for the stream's backing indices.

The index shard stores API returns the following information:

* The node on which each replica shard exists.
* The allocation ID for each replica shard.
* A unique ID for each replica shard.
* Any errors encountered while opening the shard index or from an earlier failure.

By default, the API returns store information only for primary shards that are unassigned or have one or more unassigned replica shards.

## Required authorization

* Index privileges: `monitor`

## Parameters

### Path parameters
- **index** (string | array[string])
  List of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request.

### Query parameters
- **allow_no_indices** (boolean)
  A setting that does two separate checks on the index expression.
  If `false`, the request returns an error (1) if any wildcard expression
  (including `_all` and `*`) resolves to zero matching indices or (2) if the
  complete set of resolved indices, aliases or data streams is empty after all
  expressions are evaluated. If `true`, index expressions that resolve to no
  indices are allowed and the request returns an empty result.
- **expand_wildcards** (string | array[string])
  Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams,
  this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.

  Supported values include:
    - `all`: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    - `open`: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    - `closed`: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
    - `hidden`: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with `open`, `closed`, or `both`.
    - `none`: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

- **ignore_unavailable** (boolean)
  If `false`, the request returns an error if it targets a concrete (non-wildcarded)
  index, alias, or data stream that is missing, closed, or otherwise unavailable.
  If `true`, unavailable concrete targets are silently ignored.
- **status** (string | array[string])
  List of shard health statuses used to limit the request.

  Supported values include:
    - `green`: The primary shard and all replica shards are assigned.
    - `yellow`: One or more replica shards are unassigned.
    - `red`: The primary shard is unassigned.
    - `all`: Return all shards, regardless of health status.
