you can use the following 2 ways
1. ZK client API
you could just do a get_children on the zk node
<zk_root/ch_root>/collections/ to get all collections.
or
without ZK client API point this url at your solrCloud install
http://host:port/solr/zookeeper?detail=true&path=%2Fcollections&_=1384801522456<http://faslnydsrcap03.dev.bloomberg.com:15000/solr/zookeeper?detail=true&path=%2Fcollections&_=1384801522456>
you should be looking for children under the collections node.
I dont know if there is any other easier api, but this should work
enjoy!
