Getting a list of all databases in the account

To list all the databases in an account, send a GET request to https://$ACCOUNT.cloudant.com/_all_dbs.

See the following example of using HTTP to list all databases:

GET /_all_dbs HTTP/1.1

See the following example to list all databases:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_BEARER_TOKEN" -X GET "$SERVICE_URL/_all_dbs"

import com.ibm.cloud.cloudant.v1.Cloudant;
import com.ibm.cloud.cloudant.v1.model.GetAllDbsOptions;

import java.util.List;

Cloudant service = Cloudant.newInstance();

List<String> response =
    service.getAllDbs().execute().getResult();

System.out.println(response);

const { CloudantV1 } = require('@ibm-cloud/cloudant');

const service = CloudantV1.newInstance({});

service.getAllDbs().then(response => {
  console.log(response.result);
});

from ibmcloudant.cloudant_v1 import CloudantV1

service = CloudantV1.new_instance()

response = service.get_all_dbs().get_result()

print(response)

getAllDbsOptions := service.NewGetAllDbsOptions()

result, response, err := service.GetAllDbs(getAllDbsOptions)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

b, _ := json.MarshalIndent(result, "", "  ")
fmt.Println(string(b))

The previous Go example requires the following import block:

import (
   "encoding/json"
   "fmt"
   "github.com/IBM/cloudant-go-sdk/cloudantv1"
)

All Go examples require the service object to be initialized. For more information, see the API documentation's Authentication section for examples.

See the following example response that is a JSON array with all the database names:

[
	"_users",
	"contacts",
	"docs",
	"invoices",
	"locations"
]
