Lunar API Consumption Gateway is one of 8 APIs that [Lunar](https://apis.io/providers/lunar/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include API Gateway, Traffic Management, Rate Limiting, and Quota Enforcement. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a getting-started guide.

The Lunar API Consumption Gateway is a proxy-based infrastructure layer that routes outbound HTTP/HTTPS API traffic through configurable YAML-based flows. It enforces rate limits, quota policies, priority queues, circuit breakers, and endpoint access controls without requiring code changes in consuming applications. Requests are routed by setting x-lunar-scheme, x-lunar-host, and x-lunar-consumer-tag headers and targeting the gateway on port 8000.
