Is there any way in Elasticsearch to get results as CSV file in curl API?

I’ve done just this using cURL and jq (“like sed, but for JSON”). For example, you can do the following to get CSV output for the top 20 values of a given facet:

$ curl -X GET 'http://localhost:9200/myindex/item/_search?from=0&size=0' -d '
    {"from": 0,
    "size": 0,
    "facets": {
      "sourceResource.subject.name": {
        "global": true,
        "terms": {
          "order": "count",
          "size": 20,
          "all_terms": true,
          "field": "sourceResource.subject.name.not_analyzed"
        }
      }
    },
    "sort": [
      {
        "_score": "desc"
      }
    ],
    "query": {
      "filtered": {
        "query": {
          "match_all": {}
        }
      }
    }
  }' | jq -r '.facets["subject"].terms[] | [.term, .count] | @csv'
