| ========= |
| |
| The Database endpoint provides an interface to an entire database with in |
| CouchDB. These are database-level, rather than document-level requests. |
| |
| For all these requests, the database name within the URL path |
| should be the database name that you wish to perform the operation on. |
| For example, to obtain the meta information for the database |
| ``recipes``, you would use the HTTP request: |
| |
| .. code-block:: none |
| |
| GET /recipes |
| |
| For clarity, the form below is used in the URL paths: |
| |
| .. code-block:: none |
| |
| GET /db |
| |
| Where ``db`` is the name of any database. |
| |

| bulk-api |
| find |
| shard |
