Confluent Kafka REST API is one of 11 APIs that [Confluent | the Data Streaming Platform](https://apis.io/providers/confluent-the-data-streaming-platform/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Apache Kafka, Producer, Consumer, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Kafka REST API (Confluent REST Proxy in self-managed deployments, Kafka REST in Cloud) provides HTTP access to Apache Kafka topics, consumers, partitions, brokers, and ACLs. Clients without a native Kafka library can produce and consume records, manage topics, and inspect metadata over HTTP. Cloud variants additionally enforce RBAC and Confluent Cloud authentication.
