client.list_indexes()

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 name of the index as well as its associated metadata, such as the number of records, size, last build time, and pending tasks.

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.

Examples

1
var_dump($client->listIndices());
