Implicit RequestHandlers
Solr ships with many out-of-the-box RequestHandlers, which are called implicit because they do not need to be configured in solrconfig.xml before you are able to use them.
These handlers have pre-defined default parameters, known as paramsets, which can be modified if necessary.
Available Implicit Endpoints
| All endpoint paths listed below should be placed after Solr’s host and port (if a port is used) to construct a URL. |
Admin Handlers
Many of these handlers are used throughout the Admin UI to show information about Solr.

How to View Implicit Handler Paramsets
You can see configuration for all request handlers, including the implicit request handlers, via the Config API.
To include the expanded paramset in the response, as well as the effective parameters from merging the paramset parameters with the built-in parameters, use the expandParams request parameter. For the /export request handler, you can make a request like this:
V1 API
http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/config/requestHandler?componentName=/export&expandParams=true
V2 API
http://localhost:8983/api/collections/gettingstarted/config/requestHandler?componentName=/export&expandParams=true
The response will look similar to:
{
"config": {
"requestHandler": {
"/export": {
"class": "solr.ExportHandler",
"useParams": "_EXPORT",
"components": ["query"],
"defaults": {
"wt": "json"
},
"invariants": {
"rq": "{!xport}",
"distrib": false
},
"name": "/export",
"_useParamsExpanded_": {
"_EXPORT": "[NOT AVAILABLE]"
},
"_effectiveParams_": {
"distrib": "false",
"omitHeader": "true",
"wt": "json",
"rq": "{!xport}"
}
}
}
}
}
How to Edit Implicit Handler Paramsets
Because implicit request handlers are not present in solrconfig.xml, configuration of their associated default, invariant and appends parameters may be edited via the  Request Parameters API using the paramset listed in the above table. However, other parameters, including SearchHandler components, may not be modified. The invariants and appends specified in the implicit configuration cannot be overridden.
