On this page you will learn how to connect your Kong Gateway to APIIDA´s API Control Plane step-by-step.

Prerequisites

The following is required to proceed:

  • A running instance of APIIDA´s API Control Plane

  • Access to the instance of your Kong Gateway (Open Source)

    • The Kong Gateway needs a database, otherwise neither applications nor subscriptions can be created.

  • Docker to use the image of our agent (that acts as an intermediary)

Provide the Gateway Information

The following describes how to create the gateway configuration for a Kong Gateway Agent.

    • If you are not sure whether you got the correct URL, you can try to access <URL>/services or <URL>/consumers. Both should return a valid response and no errors.

  • Your configuration file will download automatically.

  • Confirm by clicking on the "Download and Next" button

 

You’ve completed the second step!
