<titleabbrev>Geo-bounds</titleabbrev>
++++

A metric aggregation that computes the bounding box containing all geo values for a field.

Example:

PUT /museums
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "location": {
        "type": "geo_point"

    }
  }
}

      "geo_bounds": {
        "field": "location",    <1>
        "wrap_longitude": true  <2>
      }
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------

<1> The `geo_bounds` aggregation specifies the field to use to obtain the bounds.
<2> [[geo-bounds-wrap-longitude]] `wrap_longitude` is an optional parameter which specifies whether the bounding box should be allowed to overlap the international date line. The default value is `true`.

The above aggregation demonstrates how one would compute the bounding box of the location field for all documents with a business type of shop

The response for the above aggregation:

==== Geo Bounds Aggregation on `geo_shape` fields

The Geo Bounds Aggregation is also supported on `geo_shape` fields.

If <<geo-bounds-wrap-longitude,`wrap_longitude`>> is set to `true`
(the default), the bounding box can overlap the international date line and
return a bounds where the `top_left` longitude is larger than the `top_right`
longitude.

For example, the upper right longitude will typically be greater than the lower
left longitude of a geographic bounding box. However, when the area
crosses the 180° meridian, the value of the lower left longitude will be
greater than the value of the upper right longitude. See
http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/12-063r5/12-063r5.html#30[Geographic bounding box] on the Open Geospatial Consortium website for more information.
