Add Endpoints to RLCL

Overview

Adds API endpoints to an existing RLCL. Endpoints added to the RLCL will be subject to the rate limiting rules defined in the RLCL.

Endpoint

POST /apiops/projects/{projectName}/rlcl/{rlclName}/endpoints/

Authentication

Requires a Personal API Access Token.

Header

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Header	Value	Required
Authorization	Bearer {token}	Yes
Content-Type	application/json	Yes

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description

EnumCacheErrorHandlingType (cacheErrorHandlingType)

• FAIL - Fail request when cache error occurs
• CONTINUE - Continue processing when cache error occurs

EnumIntervalWindowType (timeIntervalWindowType)

Request Body Object

Field	Type	Required	Description

Notes

• Request body must be an object with endpointRateLimitList array (even for single endpoint)
• apiProxyName is the API Proxy name
• endpointName is the endpoint path (e.g., “/users”), not including HTTP method
• endpointHTTPMethod is the HTTP method (e.g., “GET”, “POST”)
• If endpointName is “ALL”, endpointHTTPMethod should also be “ALL” or can be omitted
• If endpointHTTPMethod is “ALL”, endpointName should also be “ALL” or can be omitted
• endpointId is automatically resolved from endpointName and endpointHTTPMethod (not sent in request)
• Duplicate endpoints are ignored (not added twice)
• Endpoints are added to the existing list

Notes and Warnings

• Request Body Format:
  • Request body must be an object with endpointRateLimitList array
  • Even for single endpoint, use object format with array inside
• API Proxy Name:
  • Use API Proxy name in apiProxyName
  • API Proxy must exist in the project
• Endpoint Name and Method:
  • endpointName is the endpoint path (e.g., “/users”), not including HTTP method
  • endpointHTTPMethod is the HTTP method (e.g., “GET”, “POST”, “PUT”, “DELETE”)
  • Use “ALL” for both endpointName and endpointHTTPMethod to apply to all endpoints
  • Both endpointName and endpointHTTPMethod are required for specific endpoints
• Duplicate Handling:
  • Duplicate endpoints are ignored
  • No error is thrown for duplicates
• RLCL Must Exist:
  • RLCL must exist before adding endpoints
