Admin API

The Admin API runs on port 30801 and is used to configure routes, services, and plugins in Kong:

# Verify that Kong is active
`curl http://<VM_IP>:30801/`

# List configured services
`curl http://<VM_IP>:30801/services`

# List configured routes
`curl http://<VM_IP>:30801/routes`

‍

Expected response from /:

{
  "edition": "community",
  "version": "3.x.x",
  "node_id": "..."
}

# View the Kong pod
`kubectl get pods -A | grep kong`

# View the installation log
`tail -f /var/log/cuemby/bootstrap.log`

# Health check
`curl http://<VM_IP>:30801/status`

‍

Expected pod output:

NAME                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS
kong-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx     1/1     Running   0        ← Running ✓

1. Create a service

curl -X POST http://<IP_DE_LA_VM>:30801/services \
  -d name=mi-api \
  -d url=http://mi-backend:8080

‍

2. Create a route to that service

curl -X POST http://<IP_DE_LA_VM>:30801/services/mi-api/routes \
  -d "paths[]=/mi-api"

‍

3. Test the proxy

curl http://<IP_DE_LA_VM>:30800/mi-api

‍

4. Add a plugin (example: rate limiting)

curl -X POST http://<IP_DE_LA_VM>:30801/services/mi-api/plugins \
  -d name=rate-limiting \
  -d config.minute=100 \
  -d config.policy=local

💡 Tip: Kong has a visual interface called Kong Manager available in the Enterprise edition. For the Community edition of the marketplace, all configuration is done through the Admin API or with tools like Insomnia or Deck to manage the configuration as code.
