Dashboard Admin API Export

Last updated: Dec 16, 2022 2 minutes read.

To make Tyk installations more portable, the Export API enables you to export key configuration objects required to back-up and re-deploy a basic Tyk Pro installation.

Note

To enable this feature, the minimum required versions for the Gateway and Dashboard are v2.3 and v1.3.1.2, respectively.

Warning

In a production environment, you will need to change the default admin_Secret value that is called by the admin-auth header in your tyk_analytics.conf file. This is located in /opt/tyk-dashboard.

Export Organisations

The organisation object is the most fundamental object in a Tyk setup, all other ownership properties hang off the relationship between an organisation and its APIs, Policies and API Tokens.

Export APIs and Policies

To export APIs and Policies you should use the standard GET APIS endpoint and GET POLICIES list endpoints. The output from these endpoints can be used by the Import API.
