About this method

You are currently reading the JavaScript API client v4 documentation. Check our migration guide to learn how to upgrade from v3 to v4. You can still access the v3 documentation.

You are currently reading the Ruby API client v2 documentation. Check our migration guide to learn how to upgrade from v1 to v2. You can still access the v1 documentation.

Get a list of indices with their associated metadata.

This method retrieves a list of all indices associated with a given application id.

The returned list includes the name of the index as well as its associated metadata, such as the number of records, size, and last build time.

Calling this method returns all indices, with no paging. So if there are 1000s of indices for a certain application id, then all 1000 indices will be returned at the same time.

The returned list complies with any ACL restrictions of the API key used to retrieve them. For example, if you’re using an API key that only has access to some indices, you will only retrieve these.
