Requires the `monitor_ml` cluster privilege. This privilege is included in the 
`machine_learning_user` built-in role.


[[ml-get-trained-models-desc]]
== {api-description-title}

You can get information for multiple trained models in a single API request by
using a comma-separated list of model IDs or a wildcard expression.

`include`::
(Optional, string)
A comma delimited string of optional fields to include in the response body. The
default value is empty, indicating no optional fields are included. Valid
options are:
 - `definition`: Includes the model definition.
 - `feature_importance_baseline`: Includes the baseline for {feat-imp} values.
 - `hyperparameters`: Includes the information about hyperparameters used to 
    train the model. This information consists of the value, the absolute and 
    relative importance of the hyperparameter as well as an indicator of whether 
    it was specified by the user or tuned during hyperparameter optimization.

   data set.
The baseline and total {feat-imp} values are returned in the `metadata` field
