About this method

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 names of the indices as well as their associated metadata, such as the number of records, size, and last build time.

The list of indices follows any ACL restrictions of the API key used to retrieve it. For example, if you call this method with an API key that can only access some indices, you will only retrieve records from those.

Examples

Read the Algolia CLI documentation for more information.

Response

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Each API client encapsulates this response inside objects specific to the programming language, so that the actual response might be different. You can view the response by using the getLogs method. Don’t rely on the order of attributes in the response, as JSON doesn’t guarantee the ordering of keys in objects.
