I am using [Elasticsearch Java API Client 7.17](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/7.17/index.html) to perform operations on my cluster. I can not find a way to get list of all indices in my cluster using this API.
I have found examples to achieve this using REST APIs but before using them I wanted to ensure is there a way to do this using Java API Client.
Thanks.

Hi @saurabhrs
Have you seen the documentation below? I believe it can help
[API conventions | Elasticsearch Java API Client [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/7.17/api-conventions.html#_lists_and_maps)
Another API that can return all cluster indices is \_cat/indices/all
> **[cat indices API | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/cat-indices.html#cat-indices-api-query-params)**
best regards

Hi Gerson,
I went through the document that you shared. Thanks for that. However I couldn't find any example which solves my problem.
The other API that you mentiones (\_cat/indices/all) is the REST API, but I am looking for the JAVA Client API to do the same.

Hi Saurabh.
Maybe you looking for:
```auto
var restClient = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200)).build();
var transport = new RestClientTransport(restClient, new JacksonJsonpMapper());
vzr client = new ElasticsearchClient(transport);
var indices = client.indices().stats();
```
The **IndicesStatsResponse** return a map of indices.

Hi Andre,
Thanks for replying. But when I try to execute it I am getting an exception.
**Exception Type** : 'jakarta.json.stream.JsonParsingException' exception
**Details** :
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.exc.InputCoercionException: Numeric value (2409649519) out of range of int (-2147483648 - 2147483647)
at [Source: (org.apache.http.nio.entity.ContentInputStream); line: 1, column: 183]
**Screen Shot** :
It is getting thrown from Jackson and I am inble to figure out the reason. Do you have any clue on this.
Thanks

What version of es are you using?
Guided by this installation: [Installation | Elasticsearch Java API Client [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api-client/current/installation.html#maven)
You can try this, but isnt elegant.
```auto
var restClient = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200)).build();
var request = new Request("GET", "_cat/indices");
var results = restClient.performRequest(request);
System.out.println(IOUtils.toString(results.getEntity().getContent(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
```
