how to get all bucket types in riak using http get - riak

Question

I know how to list all bucket types using command line .reference http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30785431/how-to-list-all-the-bucket-types-in-riak
But I need it using HTTP call

Answer 1

There is currently no way to list bucket types via HTTP. I can suggest two options:
Wrap the riak-admin bucket-types list command in a simple Web service and expose it via HTTP.
Install the experimental Riak Explorer, point it to your cluster, and use the bucket_types endpoint to list bucket types. For example, curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/explore/clusters/default/bucket_types should give you something like
{
