The cat segments operation lists Lucene segment-level information for each index.
## Example
```
GET _cat/segments?v
To see only the information about segments of a specific index, add the index name after your query.
GET _cat/segments/<index>?v
If you want to get information for more than one index, separate the indices with commas:
GET _cat/segments/index1,index2,index3
## Path and HTTP methods
GET _cat/segments
## URL parameters
All CAT segments URL parameters are optional.
In addition to the [common URL parameters]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/cat/index), you can specify the following parameter:
Parameter | Type | Description
