Module ngx_http_api_module

The ngx_http_api_module module (1.13.3) provides REST API for accessing various status information, configuring upstream server groups on-the-fly, and managing key-value pairs without the need of reconfiguring nginx.

The module supersedes the ngx_http_status_module and ngx_http_upstream_conf_module modules.

When using the PATCH or POST methods, make sure that the payload does not exceed the buffer size for reading the client request body, otherwise, the 413 (Request Entity Too Large) error may be returned.

This module is available as part of our commercial subscription.

Directives

Syntax: api [write=on|off];
Default: —
Context: location

Turns on the REST API interface in the surrounding location. Access to this location should be limited.

The write parameter determines whether the API is read-only or read-write. By default, the API is read-only.

All API requests should contain a supported API version in the URI. If the request URI equals the location prefix, the list of supported API versions is returned. The current API version is “6”.

The optional “fields” argument in the request line specifies which fields of the requested objects will be output: 

http://127.0.0.1/api/6/nginx?fields=version,build
Syntax: status_zone zone;
Default: —
Context: server, location, if in location

This directive appeared in version 1.13.12.

Enables collection of virtual http or stream server status information in the specified zone. Several servers may share the same zone.

Starting from 1.17.0, status information can be collected per location. The special value off disables statistics collection in nested location blocks. Note that the statistics is collected in the context of a location where processing ends. It may be different from the original location, if an internal redirect happens during request processing.
