## OpenAPI

````yaml /swagger/5.13/identity-broker-swagger.yml get /health
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Tyk Identity Broker (TIB) API
  description: >
    The Tyk Identity Broker (TIB) acts as a delegated authentication gateway
    between

    external identity providers (OAuth/Social, SAML, LDAP, Reverse Proxy) and
    the

    Tyk ecosystem.


    ## Authentication


    Profile management endpoints (`/api/*`) require an `Authorization` header
    whose

    value must exactly match the `Secret` field in `tib.conf`.


    Auth flow endpoints (`/auth/*`) are public — they are the entry points for

    end-user authentication and are called by browsers or API clients, not by

    back-end services.
