Hi @jisha,

Please consider using Cat Indices API for Python client [API Documentation — Elasticsearch 8.0.0 documentation](https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#elasticsearch.client.CatClient.indices)

More info:

> **[cat indices API | Elasticsearch Guide \[master\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/cat-indices.html)**
