Hi Bhushan, What you're looking for is a call to /v1/values to fetch the collection lexicon.
For XQuery, the code you included would not scale, what you'll want is something calling cts:collections() >From REST, you need an options file and a call to get a named collection options.xml: <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> <values name="collections"> <collection/> </values> </options> curl -X POST -d...@options.xml -Hcontent-type:application/xml http://xxx:port/v1/values/collections https://docs.marklogic.com/REST/POST/v1/values/[name] A second way is to use the fact that, in MarkLogic, named graphs are implemented as collections. So curl http://xxx:port/v1/graphs happens to list all the collections in the database too. I think I've got that all right, see if it helps, Charles Greer Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation cgr...@marklogic.com Cell: +1 707 318 0442 @grechaw www.marklogic.com ________________________________ From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com [general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com] on behalf of Bhushan Suryawanshi [bsuryawan...@xenomorph.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2017 1:37 PM To: general@developer.marklogic.com Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] List of all the collections in the database using REST api Hello Guys, I was working on MarkLogic 8 using REST API. I want to retrieve all the collections associated with the documents in the database. After going through search documents, We can use the following code: let $collections := for $doc in fn:doc() return xdmp:document-get-collections(fn:base-uri($doc)) return fn:distinct-values($collections) The above code returns the exact results, Can we get the same results using REST api. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
