public class Program
{
  static async Task Main()
  {
    // Get an existing table
    var client = new DataAPIClient(
      new CommandOptions() { Destination = DataAPIDestination.HCD }
    );

    var database = client.GetDatabase(
      "API_ENDPOINT",
      DataAPIClient.UsernamePasswordTokenProvider(
        "USERNAME",
        "PASSWORD"
      ),
      "KEYSPACE_NAME"
    );

    var table = database.GetTable("TABLE_NAME");

    // List indexes
    var indexes = await table.ListIndexesAsync();
    Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(indexes));
