Regex matching on listen_paths for an single API

I have the requirement to do the following

Same domain, regex on a listen paths for one API

I’d like to be able to define ONE API like this: http://my-es-api/[^.*/_(search|count)$] → backendA

Rather than multiple backends like:

API1 http://my-es-api/_search] → backendA

API2 http://my-es-api/_count] → backendA

Is this possible?

Hello!

There is an option. If you have an API which is bind to “my-es-api” domain with “/” listen path, you can define “_search” and “_count” urls in API designer, and add URL rewrite filter. “Rewrite to” field support setting alternative upstream url so that pattern can look like http://<backendA>/_search

Leonid, Tyk Team

Just to confirm, you are saying the “rewrite to” portion of that CAN take a fully qualified URI w/ http(s)://[host]?

Ok so here is an export of an API def doing what you suggested (below)

I make a request to http://my-es-api.test.com:8080/192.168.0.148:8888/_count

I would expect that this will proxy to http://192.168.0.148:8888/_count (per the regex url rewrite below)

The issue is that it proxies to http://192.168.0.148:8888/_count/_count

I’m not seeing where the issue is?

Are you running the latest version? There was a bug that caused this duplicate slug behaviour but AFAIK it was resolved?

Yes latest of both gateway/dashboard 2.3.7 and 1.3.7
