This assumes you have created a RabbitMQ user with the administrator tag.

Refer to the RabbitMQ REST API documentation.

The curl command with the --user option can be used to make an API connection to RabbitMQ. In this example, John Doe will make a connection to the RabbitMQ server listening on port 15671. Or, the rabbitmqctl list_queues or rabbitmqadmin list queues commands can be used.

curl
--request GET
--user john.doe:itsasecret
--url http://hostname:15671/api/exchanges

Or, you can list all of the exchange in a specific virtual host.

curl
--request GET
--user john.doe:itsasecret
--url http://hostname:15671/api/exchanges/vhost001

Or, you can specify a specific exchange in a specific virtual host.

curl
--request GET
--user john.doe:itsasecret
--url http://hostname:15671/api/exchanges/vhost001/exchange001

For the / vhost, use %2F.

curl
--request GET
--user john.doe:itsasecret
--url http://hostname:15671/api/exchanges/%2F/exchange001

If the exchange does not exist, something like this should be returned.

{"error":"Object Not Found","reason":"Not Found"}

Something like this should be returned for each exchange.
