# API
|
|
|
|
!!! important
|
|
In the beta version, you can't configure middlewares (basic authentication or white listing) anymore, but as security is important, this will change before the RC version.
|
|
|
|
Traefik exposes a number of information through an API handler, such as the configuration of all routers, services, middlewares, etc.
|
|
|
|
As with all features of Traefik, this handler can be enabled with the [static configuration](../getting-started/configuration-overview.md#the-static-configuration).
|
|
|
|
## Security
|
|
|
|
Enabling the API in production is not recommended, because it will expose all configuration elements,
|
|
including sensitive data.
|
|
|
|
In production, it should be at least secured by authentication and authorizations.
|
|
|
|
A good sane default (non exhaustive) set of recommendations
|
|
would be to apply the following protection mechanisms:
|
|
|
|
* At the transport level:
|
|
NOT publicly exposing the API's port,
|
|
keeping it restricted to internal networks
|
|
(as in the [principle of least privilege](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege), applied to networks).

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable the API handler:
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File"
|
|
[api]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `dashboard`
|
|
|
|
_Optional, Default=true_
|
|
|
|
Enable the dashboard. More about the dashboard features [here](./dashboard.md).
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File"
|
|
[api]
|
|
dashboard = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--api.dashboard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `debug`
|
|
|
|
_Optional, Default=false_
|
|
|
|
Enable additional endpoints for debugging and profiling, served under `/debug/`.
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File"
|
|
[api]
|
|
debug = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="CLI"
|
|
--api.debug=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
All the following endpoints must be accessed with a `GET` HTTP request.
