API Gateway:Configure plug-in rules for an API or operation

Last Updated:Jun 02, 2026

Attach plug-in rules to APIs and operations in Cloud-native API Gateway for flexible and secure API management.

Note

If the plug-in is not installed on the gateway instance, you can install it with one click directly from the console when you attach the rule.

Important

When plug-in rules of the same type are configured for both an API and one of its operations, the operation-level rule takes precedence.

  1. Log on to the API Gateway console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click API Management.

  3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

  4. In the API list, select an API. In the operations list, select All Operations or a specific operation.

  5. In the Policy and Plug-in Configurations section on the right, click Inbound Processing under Outbound Processing or Enable Policy/Plug-in.

  6. In the Enable Policy/Plug-in panel, click Add Plug-in.

  7. In the Quick Navigation section, select a plug-in type or search for a plug-in and click its card:

    • If the plug-in is not installed, click Install and Configure, then configure the plug-in rule and set its enabling status.

    • If the plug-in is installed, configure the rule and turn on the switch in the Enable XXX panel.

  8. Click OK. You are returned to the list of attached plug-ins, where you can view the attached plug-in and its enabling status.
