cURL Example
Example 1: Enable Circuit Breaker with Count Threshold
curl -X PATCH \
"https://demo.apinizer.com/apiops/projects/MyProject/apiProxies/MyAPI/settings/circuit-breaker/" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"circuitBreakerEnabled": true,
"errorWindow": 60,
"errorThresholdValue": 5,
"enumErrorThresholdType": "COUNT",
"sleepWindow": 30,
"halfOpenEnabled": true
}'
Example 2: Enable Circuit Breaker with Percentage Threshold
curl -X PATCH \
"https://demo.apinizer.com/apiops/projects/MyProject/apiProxies/MyAPI/settings/circuit-breaker/" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"circuitBreakerEnabled": true,
"errorWindow": 120,
"errorThresholdValue": 50,
"enumErrorThresholdType": "PERCENT",
"sleepWindow": 60,
"halfOpenEnabled": false
}'
Example 3: Save and Deploy
curl -X PATCH \
"https://demo.apinizer.com/apiops/projects/MyProject/apiProxies/MyAPI/settings/circuit-breaker/" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"circuitBreakerEnabled": true,
"errorWindow": 60,
"errorThresholdValue": 5,
"enumErrorThresholdType": "COUNT",
"sleepWindow": 30,
"halfOpenEnabled": true,
"deploy": true,
"deployTargetEnvironmentNameList": ["production"]
}'
Notes and Warnings
- Error Window: Time window in seconds during which errors are counted
- Error Threshold: When threshold is reached, circuit breaker opens
- Sleep Window: Duration in seconds that circuit breaker stays open before attempting half-open
- Half-Open: When enabled, allows test requests to check if backend recovered
- Threshold Type:
COUNT uses absolute number, PERCENT uses percentage of requests
- Deploy: When
deploy=true, the API proxy is automatically deployed to the specified environments after saving
