Tutorial Add a python plugin bundle to your Gateway
API settings
To add a Python plugin to your API, you must specify the bundle name using the custom_middleware_bundle
field:
{
"name": "Tyk Test API",
"api_id": "1",
"org_id": "default",
"definition": {
"location": "header",
"key": "version"
},
"auth": {
"auth_header_name": "authorization"
},
"use_keyless": true,
"version_data": {
"not_versioned": true,
"versions": {
"Default": {
"name": "Default",
"expires": "3000-01-02 15:04",
"use_extended_paths": true,
"extended_paths": {
"ignored": [],
"white_list": [],
"black_list": []
}
}
}
},
"proxy": {
"listen_path": "/quickstart/",
"target_url": "http://httpbin.org",
"strip_listen_path": true
},
"custom_middleware_bundle": "test-bundle"
}
Global settings
To enable Python plugins you need to add the following block to tyk.conf
:
"coprocess_options": {
"enable_coprocess": true,
"python_path_prefix": "/opt/tyk-gateway"
},
"enable_bundle_downloader": true,
"bundle_base_url": "http://dummy-bundle-server.com/bundles/",
"public_key_path": "/path/to/my/pubkey",
enable_coprocess
: enables the rich plugins feature.
python_path_prefix
: Sets the path to built-in Tyk modules, this will be part of the Python module lookup path. The value used here is the default one for most installations.
enable_bundle_downloader
: enables the bundle downloader.
bundle_base_url
: is a base URL that will be used to download the bundle, in this example we have test-bundle
specified in the API settings, Tyk will fetch the URL for your specified bundle server (in the above example): dummy-bundle-server.com/bundles/test-bundle
. You need to create and then specify your own bundle server URL.
public_key_path
: sets a public key, this is used for verifying signed bundles, you may omit this if unsigned bundles are used.
