  title: Express Gateway Admin Apps Credentials API
  description: 'Administrative REST API for Express Gateway - the API gateway built on

    Express.js. The Admin API manages users, applications, credentials,

    scopes, schemas, policies, service endpoints, API endpoints, and

    pipelines. By default it listens on http://localhost:9876 and should

    NOT be exposed publicly without protection - the recommended pattern

    is to expose it through Express Gateway itself behind a key-auth

    policy (Authorization: apikey {keyId}:{keySecret}).
