How to get all indexes attached to a given label in Neo4J 2.0 Cypher

Question

Does anybody know how to get all the indexes attached to a given label (or all the labels) in Neo4J 2.0 listed?

I've only found this:

But how do I do that through Cypher? Or at least REST API?

Thanks!

There is a :schema command in the browser and schema command in Neo4j shell.

In the Java Core API it is in db.schema().getIndexes(label)

For a specific label, it would be `:schema ls -l :the_label` – Octavius Jan 31 '17 at 21:03

Found an answer to my own question inside the main.js file of this great Neo4J Node.Js module: http://github.com/philippkueng/node-neo4j

There is in fact a REST API endpoint, which provides all the indexes in the database:

http://localhost:7474/db/data/schema/index/

Indexes on a specific label:

http://localhost:7474/db/data/schema/index/User

I only wonder if Neo4J is moving away from REST API towards Cypher - will they offer this functionality in there as well?
