Few Questions on Tyk APIs

[Olu]

@Swamy_M_S

If we have multiple API definations is there any way to variable and use single/few templates so that Tyk can use that
eg: if i have 10 API, i need to create 10 json with just a change in plugins,listen_path and target_url
instead can we use a template and Tyk can once pick these plugins,listen_path and target_url from some mapping?

No, we don’t have a feature like this but you could use jq to handle this. You still need to publish 10 APIs though.

2)If thats not possible how Tyk dashboard will maintain large API jsons if we have thousands on APIs

The dashboard maintains the APIs individually the same as the gateway with the inclusion of database option. However, I am not sure I understand the question. It might be easier if you get a trial Self Managed license to experiment with. You can find out more information about our Self Managed offering on our docs.

3)suppose we are using s3fs and mounting all API definations to Tyk path, lets a new API gets created we have to restart the pod so that latest API will be synced from s3 is there any way like auto_sync or hoy reload?

Yes, we have a hot reload API call you can use
