Request Body Fields
The request body is an object containing an array of routing address objects.
Routing Address Object
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|
| address | string | Yes | - | Backend address URL |
| description | string | No | - | Description for this backend address |
| weight | integer | No | 1 | Load balancing weight (required if loadBalanceAlgorithm=WEIGHTED) |
| soapType | string | No* | SOAP11 | SOAP version (required if API type is SOAP) |
| addressType | string | No | PRIMARY | Address type. See EnumRoutingAddressType |
| healthCheckPath | string | No | - | Active health check path for this backend (only for PRIMARY and FAILOVER_ONLY) |
| healthMonitoringEnabled | boolean | No | - | Enable per-address health monitoring (only for HTTP type) |
EnumRoutingAddressType
PRIMARY - Primary backend address (default, used for normal traffic)
CANARY - Canary release address (receives a percentage of traffic)
MIRROR - Mirror address (receives a copy of traffic for testing)
FAILOVER_ONLY - Failover-only address (used only when primary backends are unavailable)
EnumSoapApiPortType
SOAP11 - SOAP 1.1
SOAP12 - SOAP 1.2
Request Body Object
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
| routingAddressList | array | Yes | Array of routing address objects |
| deploy | boolean | No | If true, deploy the API proxy after saving changes (default: false) |
| deployTargetEnvironmentNameList | array[string] | No | List of environment names to deploy to (required when deploy=true) |
Note
- Request body must be an object with
routingAddressList array
- For REST APIs,
soapType is not required
- For SOAP APIs,
soapType defaults to SOAP11 if not provided
- Weight is used when load balancing algorithm is
WEIGHTED
Response
Success Response (200 OK)

|---|
| success | boolean | Indicates if the request was successful |
When deploy=true is specified:
{
"success": true,

"success": true,
"deploymentResults": [
{
"environmentName": "production",
"success": true,
"message": "Deployment successful"
}
]
}
}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|
| deploymentResult | object | Only present when deploy=true |
| deploymentResult.success | boolean | Overall deployment success status |
| deploymentResult.deploymentResults | array | Per-environment deployment results |

Notes and Warnings
- Request Body Format: Request body must be an object with
routingAddressList array
- Address Format: Must be a valid URL (http:// or https://)
- Weight: Used for weighted load balancing (higher weight = more traffic)
- SOAP Type: Required for SOAP APIs, defaults to
SOAP11 if not provided
- Empty Array: Empty array removes all routing addresses (routing will fail)
- Load Balancing: Configure load balancing algorithm separately (via routing settings)
- Address Types: Use
FAILOVER_ONLY for disaster recovery backends, MIRROR for shadow traffic testing, CANARY for gradual rollout
- Health Check:
healthCheckPath defines the endpoint the gateway calls to verify backend health. Only applicable for PRIMARY and FAILOVER_ONLY addresses.
- Description: Use
description to document the purpose of each backend address
- Deploy: When
deploy=true, the API proxy is automatically deployed to the specified environments after saving
Permissions
User must have API_MANAGEMENT + MANAGE permission in the project.
