FAQ

Questions Tyk owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I apply changes to my Tyk Gateway after updating a policy?

    You can use the hot_reload capability. This forces the Tyk Gateway to reload its configuration and API definitions, ensuring all updates are live without a full restart.

  • 02

    Can I list all my existing API definitions from the Dashboard?

    Yes! Use the list_apis capability. It returns a paginated list of all API definitions. You can also filter by name using the optional search string.

  • 03

    Is it possible to retrieve the details of a specific API key?

    Absolutely. Use the get_key capability with the specific Key ID. The agent will return the session object, including access rights and rate limit configurations.
