Admin API
Description
The Admin API lets users control their deployed Apache APISIX instance. The architecture design gives an idea about how everything fits together.
Configuration
When APISIX is started, the Admin API will listen on port 9180
by default and take the API prefixed with /apisix/admin
.
Therefore, to avoid conflicts between your designed API and /apisix/admin
, you can modify the configuration file /conf/config.yaml to modify the default listening port.
APISIX supports setting the IP access allowlist of Admin API to prevent APISIX from being illegally accessed and attacked. You can configure the IP addresses to allow access in the deployment.admin.allow_admin
option in the ./conf/config.yaml
file.
The X-API-KEY
shown below refers to the deployment.admin.admin_key.key
in the ./conf/config.yaml
file, which is the access token for the Admin API.
tip
For security reasons, please modify the default admin_key
, and check the allow_admin
IP access list.
./conf/config.yaml
deployment:
admin:
admin_key:
- name: admin
key: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1 # using fixed API token has security risk, please update it when you deploy to production environment
role: admin
allow_admin: # http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_access_module.html#allow
- 127.0.0.0/24
admin_listen:
ip: 0.0.0.0 # Specific IP, if not set, the default value is `0.0.0.0`.
port: 9180 # Specific port, which must be different from node_listen's port.
V3 new feature
The Admin API has made some breaking changes in V3 version, as well as supporting additional features.
Support new response body format
- Remove
action
field in response body; - Adjust the response body structure when fetching the list of resources, the new response body structure like:
Return single resource:
{
"modifiedIndex": 2685183,
"value": {
"id": "1",
...
},
"key": "/apisix/routes/1",
"createdIndex": 2684956
}
Return multiple resources:
{
"list": [
{
"modifiedIndex": 2685183,
"value": {
"id": "1",
...
},
"key": "/apisix/routes/1",
"createdIndex": 2684956
},
{
"modifiedIndex": 2685163,
"value": {
"id": "2",
...
},
"key": "/apisix/routes/2",
"createdIndex": 2685163
}
],
"total": 2
}
Support paging query
Paging query is supported when getting the resource list, paging parameters include:
parameter | Default | Valid range | Description |
---|---|---|---|
page | 1 | [1, …] | Number of pages. |
page_size | [10, 500] | Number of resources per page. |
The example is as follows:
curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes?page=1&page_size=10" \
-H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X GET
{
"total": 1,
"list": [
{
...
}
]
}
Resources that support paging queries:
- Consumer
- Consumer Group
- Global Rules
- Plugin Config
- Proto
- Route
- Service
- SSL
- Stream Route
- Upstream
- Secret
Support filtering query
When getting a list of resources, it supports filtering resources based on name
, label
, uri
.
parameter | parameter |
---|---|
name | Query resource by their name , which will not appear in the query results if the resource itself does not have name . |
label | Query resource by their label , which will not appear in the query results if the resource itself does not have label . |
uri | Supported on Route resources only. If the uri of a Route is equal to the uri of the query or if the uris contains the uri of the query, the Route resource appears in the query results. |
tip
When multiple filter parameters are enabled, use the intersection of the query results for different filter parameters.
The following example will return a list of routes, and all routes in the list satisfy: the name
of the route contains the string “test”, the uri
contains the string “foo”, and there is no restriction on the label
of the route, since the label of the query is the empty string.
curl 'http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes?name=test&uri=foo&label=' \
-H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X GET
{
"total": 1,
"list": [
{
...
}
]
}
Route
Routes match the client’s request based on defined rules, loads and executes the corresponding plugins, and forwards the request to the specified Upstream.
Route API
Route resource request address: /apisix/admin/routes/{id}?ttl=0

Response Parameters
Currently, the response is returned from etcd.
Consumer
Consumers are users of services and can only be used in conjunction with a user authentication system. A Consumer is identified by a username
property. So, for creating a new Consumer, only the HTTP PUT
method is supported.
Consumer API
Consumer resource request address: /apisix/admin/consumers/{username}
Request Methods
Method | Request URI | Request Body | Description |
---|---|---|---|
GET | /apisix/admin/consumers | NULL | Fetches a list of all Consumers. |
GET | /apisix/admin/consumers/{username} | NULL | Fetches specified Consumer by username. |
PUT | /apisix/admin/consumers | {…} | Create new Consumer. |
DELETE | /apisix/admin/consumers/{username} | NULL | Removes the Consumer with the specified username. |
Request Body Parameters
Parameter | Required | Type | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
username | True | Name | Name of the Consumer. | |
group_id | False | Name | Group of the Consumer. | |
plugins | False | Plugin | Plugins that are executed during the request/response cycle. See Plugin for more. | |
desc | False | Auxiliary | Description of usage scenarios. | customer xxxx |
labels | False | Match Rules | Attributes of the Consumer specified as key-value pairs. | {“version”:”v2”,”build”:”16”,”env”:”production”} |
create_time | False | Auxiliary | Epoch timestamp (in seconds) of the created time. If missing, this field will be populated automatically. | 1602883670 |
update_time | False | Auxiliary | Epoch timestamp (in seconds) of the updated time. If missing, this field will be populated automatically. | 1602883670 |
Example Configuration:
{
"plugins": {}, # Bound plugin
"username": "name", # Consumer name
"desc": "hello world" # Consumer desc
}
When bound to a Route or Service, the Authentication Plugin infers the Consumer from the request and does not require any parameters. Whereas, when it is bound to a Consumer, username, password and other information needs to be provided.
Example API usage
curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers \

Since v2.2
, we can bind multiple authentication plugins to the same consumer.
Response Parameters
Currently, the response is returned from etcd.
Upstream
Upstream is a virtual host abstraction that performs load balancing on a given set of service nodes according to the configured rules.
An Upstream configuration can be directly bound to a Route or a Service, but the configuration in Route has a higher priority. This behavior is consistent with priority followed by the Plugin object.
Upstream API
Upstream resource request address: /apisix/admin/upstreams/{id}
Request Methods
Method | Request URI | Request Body | Description |
---|---|---|---|
GET | /apisix/admin/upstreams | NULL | Fetch a list of all configured Upstreams. |
GET | /apisix/admin/upstreams/{id} | NULL | Fetches specified Upstream by id. |
PUT | /apisix/admin/upstreams/{id} | {…} | Creates an Upstream with the specified id. |
POST | /apisix/admin/upstreams | {…} | Creates an Upstream and assigns a random id. |
DELETE | /apisix/admin/upstreams/{id} | NULL | Removes the Upstream with the specified id. |
PATCH | /apisix/admin/upstreams/{id} | {…} | Updates the selected attributes of the specified, existing Upstream. To delete an attribute, set value of attribute set to null. |
PATCH | /apisix/admin/upstreams/{id}/{path} | {…} | Updates the attribute specified in the path. The values of other attributes remain unchanged. |
Request Body Parameters
In addition to the equalization algorithm selections, Upstream also supports passive health check and retry for the upstream. See the table below for more details:
Name | Optional | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|
type | optional | Load balancing algorithm to be used, and the default value is roundrobin . | |
nodes | required, can’t be used with servicename | IP addresses (with optional ports) of the Upstream nodes represented as a hash table or an array. In the hash table, the key is the IP address and the value is the weight of the node for the load balancing algorithm. For hash table case, if the key is IPv6 address with port, then the IPv6 address must be quoted with square brackets. In the array, each item is a hash table with keys host , weight , and the optional port and priority . Empty nodes are treated as placeholders and clients trying to access this Upstream will receive a 502 response. | 192.168.1.100:80 , [::1]:80 |

An Upstream can be one of the following types
:
roundrobin
: Round robin balancing with weights.chash
: Consistent hash.ewma
: Pick the node with minimum latency. See EWMA Chart for more details.least_conn
: Picks the node with the lowest value of(active_conn + 1) / weight
. Here, an active connection is a connection being used by the request and is similar to the concept in Nginx.- user-defined load balancer loaded via
require("apisix.balancer.your_balancer")
.
The following should be considered when setting the hash_on
value:
- When set to
vars
, akey
is required. The value of the key can be any of the Nginx variables without the$
prefix. - When set to
header
, akey
is required. This is equal to “http_key
“. - When set to
cookie
, akey
is required. This key is equal to “cookie_key
“. The cookie name is case-sensitive. - When set to
consumer
, thekey
is optional and the key is set to theconsumer_name
captured from the authentication Plugin. - When set to
vars_combinations
, thekey
is required. The value of the key can be a combination of any of the Nginx variables like$request_uri$remote_addr
. - When no value is set for either
hash_on
orkey
, the key defaults toremote_addr
.
The features described below requires APISIX to be run on APISIX-Base:
You can set the scheme
to tls
, which means “TLS over TCP”.
To use mTLS to communicate with Upstream, you can use the tls.client_cert/key
in the same format as SSL’s cert
and key
fields.
Or you can reference SSL object by tls.client_cert_id
to set SSL cert and key. The SSL object can be referenced only if the type
field is client
, otherwise the request will be rejected by APISIX. In addition, only cert
and key
will be used in the SSL object.
To allow Upstream to have a separate connection pool, use keepalive_pool
. It can be configured by modifying its child fields.
Example Configuration:
{
"id": "1", # id
"retries": 1, # retry times
"timeout": { # Set the timeout for connecting, sending and receiving messages, each is 15 seconds.
"connect":15,
"send":15,
"read":15
},
"nodes": {"host:80": 100}, # Upstream machine address list, the format is `Address + Port`
# is the same as "nodes": [ {"host": "host", "port": 80, "weight": 100} ],
"type":"roundrobin",
"checks": {}, # Health check parameters
"hash_on": "",
"key": "",
"name": "upstream-for-test",
"desc": "hello world",
"scheme": "http" # The scheme used when communicating with upstream, the default is `http`
}

https
.Send a request to test.
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/get
{
"args": {},
"headers": {
"Accept": "*/*",
"Host": "127.0.0.1",
"User-Agent": "curl/7.29.0",

"X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
},
"origin": "127.0.0.1",
"url": "https://127.0.0.1/get"
}
The request is successful, meaning that the proxy Upstream https
is valid.
note
Each node can be configured with a priority. A node with low priority will only be used when all the nodes with higher priority have been tried or are unavailable.
As the default priority is 0, nodes with negative priority can be configured as a backup.
For example:
{
"uri": "/hello",
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": [
{ "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": 1980, "weight": 2000 },
{ "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": 1981, "weight": 1, "priority": -1 }
],
"checks": {
"active": {
"http_path": "/status",
"healthy": {
"interval": 1,
"successes": 1
},
"unhealthy": {
"interval": 1,
"http_failures": 1
}
}
}
}
}
Node 127.0.0.2
will be used only after 127.0.0.1
is tried or unavailable. It can therefore act as a backup for the node 127.0.0.1
.
