Get all design documents in CouchDB

Question

How can I get a list of all design documents in CouchDB? Using a http query, not futon.

Futon just makes queries against CouchDB over HTTP, it doesn't use any special reserved interfaces :) — mikeal, May 12 '10 at 01:36

This is the exact query Futon does internally:

GET /dbname/_all_docs?startkey="_design/"&endkey="_design0"&include_docs=true

If you want *just* a list of design docs then drop &include_docs=true – Brad Rhoads Jan 31 '13 at 17:17

New answer for an old question. From v2.2, you can query the _design_docs endpoint for a database: See the docs for deatils, but as a simple example:

GET /dbname/_design_docs

Parameters to the endpoint are consistent with other bulk APIs, like _all_docs.

With this command retrieve all design docs in a specific database. To view full request, use -Verbose parameter:
