Lists all keyspaces in a database.

You need an application token with permission to interact with the target database, such as the Database Administrator role.

For more information, see Get endpoint and token.

Returns the keyspace names as an unordered list of strings.

Returns a promise that resolves to the keyspace names as a list of strings, with the default keyspace first and the remaining keyspaces in any order.

Returns the keyspace names as a Set of strings.

Returns the keyspace names as an unordered list of strings in the status.keyspaces field of the response.

Example response:

{
  "status": {
    "keyspaces":[
      "default_keyspace",
      "another_keyspace"
    ]
  }
}

Parameters

Python
TypeScript
Java
curl

Use the list_keyspaces method, which belongs to the astrapy.DataAPIDatabaseAdmin class.

Method signature

list_keyspaces(
  *,
  keyspace_admin_timeout_ms: int,
  request_timeout_ms: int,
  timeout_ms: int,
) -> None

Name Type Summary

Name	Type	Summary
`keyspace_admin_timeout_ms`	`int`	Optional. A timeout, in milliseconds, to impose on the underlying API request. If not provided, the `DataAPIDatabaseAdmin` defaults apply. This parameter is aliased as `request_timeout_ms` and `timeout_ms` for convenience.

keyspace_admin_timeout_ms

int

Optional. A timeout, in milliseconds, to impose on the underlying API request. If not provided, the DataAPIDatabaseAdmin defaults apply.

This parameter is aliased as request_timeout_ms and timeout_ms for convenience.

Use the listKeyspaces method, which belongs to the DataAPIDbAdmin class.

Method signature

async listKeyspaces(
  options?: {
    timeout?: number | TimeoutDescriptor,
  }
): void

Name Type Summary

Name	Type	Summary
`options`	`object`	Optional. The options for this operation. See Properties of `options` for more details.

options

object

Optional. The options for this operation. See Properties of options for more details.

Properties of `options`
Name	Type	Summary
`timeout`	`number` \| `TimeoutDescriptor`	Optional. The timeout(s) to apply to this method. You can specify `requestTimeoutMs` and `keyspaceAdminTimeoutMs`. Details about the `timeout` parameter The `TimeoutDescriptor` object can contain these properties: `requestTimeoutMs` (`number`): The maximum time, in milliseconds, that the client should wait for each underlying HTTP request. Default: The default value for the admin object. This default is 10 seconds unless you specified a different default when you initialized the `DataAPIDbAdmin` or `DataAPIClient` object. `keyspaceAdminTimeoutMs` (`number`): The maximum time, in milliseconds, for keyspace admin operations like creating, dropping, and listing keyspaces. Default: The default value for the admin object. This default is 30 seconds unless you specified a different default when you initialized the `DataAPIDbAdmin` or `DataAPIClient` object. If you specify a number instead of a `TimeoutDescriptor` object, that number will be applied to both `requestTimeoutMs` and `keyspaceAdminTimeoutMs`.

Use the listKeyspaceNames method, which belongs to the com.datastax.astra.client.admin.DatabaseAdmin class.

Method signature

Set<String> listKeyspaceNames()

This method does not accept any parameters.

Use the findKeyspaces command.

Command signature

curl -sS -L -X POST "API_ENDPOINT/api/json/v1" \
--header "Token: APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "findKeyspaces": {}
}'

This command does not accept any options.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to list keyspaces.

List keyspaces

Python
TypeScript
Java
curl

from astrapy import DataAPIClient

# Get a database
client = DataAPIClient()
database = client.get_database(
    "API_ENDPOINT",
    token="APPLICATION_TOKEN",
)

# Get an admin object
admin = database.get_database_admin()

# List keyspaces
keyspaces = admin.list_keyspaces()

print(keyspaces)

import { DataAPIClient } from "@datastax/astra-db-ts";

// Get a database
const client = new DataAPIClient();
const database = client.db("API_ENDPOINT", {
  token: "APPLICATION_TOKEN",
});

// Get an admin object
const admin = database.admin();

// List keyspaces
(async function () {
  const keyspaces = await admin.listKeyspaces();

  console.log(keyspaces);
})();

import com.datastax.astra.client.DataAPIClient;
import com.datastax.astra.client.admin.DatabaseAdmin;
import com.datastax.astra.client.databases.Database;

public class Example {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Get a database
    Database database = new DataAPIClient("APPLICATION_TOKEN").getDatabase("API_ENDPOINT");

    // Get an admin object
    DatabaseAdmin admin = database.getDatabaseAdmin();

    // List keyspaces
    admin.listKeyspaceNames();
  }
}

curl -sS -L -X POST "API_ENDPOINT/api/json/v1" \
--header "Token: APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "findKeyspaces": {}
}'
