Tyk classic API definition: active.

Field: internal (boolean) Internal makes the API accessible only internally.

Tyk classic API definition: internal.

Versioning

Versioning holds configuration for API versioning.

Tyk classic API definition: version_data.

Field: enabled (boolean) Enabled is a boolean flag, if set to true it will enable versioning of the API.

Field: urlVersioningPattern (string) UrlVersioningPattern is a string that contains the pattern that if matched will remove the version from the URL.

Field: fallbackToDefault (boolean) FallbackToDefault controls the behaviour of Tyk when a versioned API is called with a nonexistent version name. If set to true then the default API version will be invoked; if set to false Tyk will return an HTTP 404 This API version does not seem to exist error in this scenario.

ServiceDiscovery

ServiceDiscovery holds configuration required for service discovery.

Field: enabled (boolean) Enabled activates Service Discovery.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.use_discovery_service.

Field: queryEndpoint (string) QueryEndpoint is the endpoint to call, this would usually be Consul, etcd or Eureka K/V store.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.query_endpoint.

Field: dataPath (string) DataPath is the namespace of the data path - where exactly in your service response the namespace can be found. For example, if your service responds with:

{
 "action": "get",
 "node": {
   "key": "/services/single",
   "value": "http://httpbin.org:6000",
   "modifiedIndex": 6,
   "createdIndex": 6
 }
}

then your namespace would be node.value.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.data_path.

Field: useNestedQuery (boolean) UseNestedQuery enables the use of a combination of dataPath and parentDataPath. It is necessary when the data lives within this string-encoded JSON object.

{
 "action": "get",
 "node": {
   "key": "/services/single",
   "value": "{"hostname": "http://httpbin.org", "port": "80"}",
   "modifiedIndex": 6,
   "createdIndex": 6
 }
}

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.use_nested_query.

Field: parentDataPath (string) ParentDataPath is the namespace of the where to find the nested value if useNestedQuery is true. In the above example, it would be node.value. You would change the dataPath setting to be hostname, since this is where the host name data resides in the JSON string. Tyk automatically assumes that dataPath in this case is in a string-encoded JSON object and will try to deserialize it.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.parent_data_path.

Field: portDataPath (string) PortDataPath is the port of the data path. In the above nested example, we can see that there is a separate port value for the service in the nested JSON. In this case, you can set the portDataPath value and Tyk will treat dataPath as the hostname and zip them together (this assumes that the hostname element does not end in a slash or resource identifier such as /widgets/). In the above example, the portDataPath would be port.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.port_data_path.

Field: useTargetList (boolean) UseTargetList should be set to true if you are using load balancing. Tyk will treat the data path as a list and inject it into the target list of your API definition.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.use_target_list.

Field: cacheTimeout (int64) CacheTimeout is the timeout of a cache value when a new data is loaded from a discovery service. Setting it too low will cause Tyk to call the SD service too often, setting it too high could mean that failures are not recovered from quickly enough.

Deprecated: The field is deprecated. Use service_discovery to configure service discovery cache options.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.cache_timeout.

Field: cache (ServiceDiscoveryCache) Cache holds cache related flags.

Tyk classic API definition:.

  • service_discovery.cache_disabled
  • service_discovery.cache_timeout

Field: targetPath (string) TargetPath is used to set a target path that will be appended to the discovered endpoint, since many service discovery services only provide host and port data. It is important to be able to target a specific resource on that host. Setting this value will enable that.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.target_path.

Field: endpointReturnsList (boolean) EndpointReturnsList is set true when the response type is a list instead of an object.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.endpoint_returns_list.

MutualTLS

MutualTLS contains the configuration for establishing a mutual TLS connection between Tyk and the upstream server.

Field: enabled (boolean) Enabled activates upstream mutual TLS for the API.

RateLimit

RateLimit holds the configurations related to rate limit. The API-level rate limit applies a base-line limit on the frequency of requests to the upstream service for all endpoints. The frequency of requests is configured in two parts: the time interval and the number of requests that can be made during each interval. Tyk classic API definition: global_rate_limit.

Field: enabled (boolean) Enabled activates API level rate limiting for this API.

Tyk classic API definition: !disable_rate_limit.

Field: rate (int) Rate specifies the number of requests that can be passed to the upstream in each time interval (per). This field sets the limit on the frequency of requests to ensure controlled resource access or to prevent abuse. The rate is defined as an integer value.

A higher value indicates a higher number of allowed requests in the given time frame. For instance, if Per is set to 1m (one minute), a Rate of 100 means up to 100 requests can be made per minute.

Tyk classic API definition: global_rate_limit.rate.

Field: per (ReadableDuration) Per defines the time interval for rate limiting using shorthand notation. The value of Per is a string that specifies the interval in a compact form, where hours, minutes and seconds are denoted by ‘h’, ’m’ and ’s’ respectively. Multiple units can be combined to represent the duration.

Examples of valid shorthand notations:

  • “1h” : one hour
  • “20m” : twenty minutes
  • “30s” : thirty seconds
  • “1m29s”: one minute and twenty-nine seconds
  • “1h30m” : one hour and thirty minutes

An empty value is interpreted as “0s”, implying no rate limiting interval, which disables the API-level rate limit. It’s important to format the string correctly, as invalid formats will be considered as 0s/empty.

Tyk classic API definition: global_rate_limit.per.

ListenPath

ListenPath is the base path on Tyk to which requests for this API should be sent. Tyk listens out for any requests coming into the host at this path, on the port that Tyk is configured to run on and processes these accordingly.

Field: value (string) Value is the value of the listen path e.g. /api/ or / or /httpbin/.

Tyk classic API definition: proxy.listen_path.

Field: strip (boolean) Strip removes the inbound listen path (as accessed by the client) when generating the outbound request for the upstream service.

For example, consider the scenario where the Tyk base address is http://acme.com/', the listen path is example/and the upstream URL ishttp://httpbin.org/`:

  • If the client application sends a request to http://acme.com/example/get then the request will be proxied to http://httpbin.org/example/get
  • If stripListenPath is set to true, the example listen path is removed and the request would be proxied to http://httpbin.org/get.

Tyk classic API definition: proxy.strip_listen_path.
