Path parameters

Field

Description

clusterId

string

Required field. ID of the cluster that the external dictionaries belong to.

Query parameters

Field

Description

pageSize

string (int64)

The maximum number of results per page to return. If the number of available
results is larger than pageSize, the service returns a [ListClusterExternalDictionaryResponse.next_page_token]
that can be used to get the next page of results in subsequent list requests.

Field

Description

externalDictionaries[]

ExternalDictionary

List of ClickHouse Cluster external dictionaries.

nextPageToken

string

This token allows you to get the next page of results for list requests. If the number of results
is larger than [ListClusterExternalDictionaryRequest.page_size], use the nextPageToken as the value
for the [ListClusterExternalDictionaryRequest.page_token] parameter in the next list request. Each subsequent
list request will have its own nextPageToken to continue paging through the results.
