Kong Admin API
What is the Kong Admin API?
The Admin API is an internal RESTful API designed for administration purposes. It provides full control over Kong Gateway.
Requests to the Admin API can be sent to any node in the cluster, and Kong will keep the configuration consistent across all nodes.
By default, the Admin API is exposed on the following ports:
- 8001 for HTTP
- 8444 for HTTPS
This can be customized with the admin_listen
parameter in in the Kong Gateway configuration.
