This assumes Kong has been secured with Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and you have created your Kong-Admin-Token. The following curl command can be used to list the endpoints that can be used with the API.
curl --header "Kong-Admin-Token: abc123" --request GET "https://kong.example.com/endpoints"
Something like this should be returned. Notice that the /workspaces endpoint can be used.
{
"data": [
"/",
"/acls",
"/acls/{acls}",
"/acls/{acls}/consumer",
"/workspaces",
"/workspaces/{workspaces}",
"/workspaces/{workspaces}/meta"
]
}
The following curl command can be used to create a workspace.
curl --header "Kong-Admin-Token: abc123" --request PUT "https://kong.example.com/workspaces/my-workspace"
Something like this should be returned.
