Mastering Apache Pulsar

Appendix A. Pulsar Admin API

Throughout the book, I’ve used the Pulsar Admin REST API to perform many tasks. I shared the URLs and the API methods but didn’t spend much time talking about the REST API. That was partly due to it not fitting into the flow of the book, but also knowing I would reserve this section of the book to talk about it. This appendix will quickly cover the Pulsar Admin API and go through all the available methods in the API. It’s here to serve as a reference (see Table A-1).

For an exhaustive list of what is available in the Pulsar Admin API, you can consult the official API reference.
