title: Ignition Gateway REST access-control config-management API
description: The Ignition Gateway REST API (Ignition 8.3+) provides an OpenAPI-compliant HTTP interface to Gateway configuration resources including tags, projects, modules, device connections, historian data, user management (SCIM), alarm notification, OPC connections, and more. The specification is dynamically generated based on installed modules. Authentication uses API keys exchanged for time-limited tokens via the X-Ignition-API-Token header. Mutative requests are audit-logged. Supports Kubernetes and Helm-based cloud-native deployments.
