如何通过 ElasticSearch API 找出是否在任何索引模板中使用了组件模板？

Question

I'm looking for an API call for ElasticSearch which helps me figuring out if the component template has any usage count, if it is used by any index template.

We can see this information through Kibana -> Index management -> Component templates -> Usage count. But not sure which API call would provide this.

Thanks

An easy way to do it is to call the following API and parse the response

GET _cat/templates?format=json&filter_path=name,composed_of
