# Get Collection Indexes

Lists the index key patterns of a collection (read-only).

**Hub only.** Lists the MongoDB indexes of one collection, so you can check which fields are indexed before sorting or filtering on them. Read-only — indexes are created on the MongoDB side. `GET /{version}/database/collections/{collectionName}/indexes` The answer's `indexes` is a list of `{ name, keys: [{ field, order }] }` (`order` is `1` ascending or `-1` descending). A sort on a field is fast only when the field is the **first** key of an index. Permission: `database:read` on the collection. AI tool: `get_collection_indexes`.

This method is on the **Hub** surface (`norbix.hub.database`) — call it from admin tooling or IaC.

These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/codemash/sdks/install.md).
