Have you tried looking for elasticsearch nodes on [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org)?

If in doubt - always have a quick look on [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org) ....  
eg

When I use these libraries, I receive the following error:  
"TypeError: Invalid apiVersion "1.3", expected a function or one of \_default, 6.2, 6.1, 6.0, 5.6, 5.5, 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 2.4, 1.7, 0.90, 6.x, master"  
😕

That search returns 8 different elasticsearch nodes. Which one(s) have you tried?

I'm using this node:  
node-red-contrib-elasticsearch  
0.1.4

Should I use another one?

I cannot vouch for any particular node; but there are 7 others that you haven't tried. I'd expect at least one of them to work.

A good plan is to look at the code on github and see whether there seems to be any action and whether there are open issues not being addressed. If you can find one that is being maintained then it is more likely to work in my experience.
