Dashboard Admin API Import

Last updated: Jul 16, 2024 3 minutes read.

The import API enables you to add Organizations, APIs and Policies back into a Tyk installation while retaining their base IDs so that they work together.

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.

Import Organization

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