# List Collections

### Prerequisites

Requires a user auth token. See the [API Auth](/api/api-setup-text.md) section.

### Listing Collections

Takes in a name of the database `db` and returns a list of all collections in that db.

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```javascript
import mindplug from "@/src/mindplugAPI"; // base instance

mindplug.post("/collection/list", {
    db: "walmart",
});
```

{% endcode %}

*Note the collections are automatically created when you add new data to the database.*

### Sample Response
