:::caution Deprecation notice

Api admin state is deprecated from version 5. We recommend using the new Environment Import & Export.

:::

In order to access the admin API endpoints you need to identify yourself. Unless you're using the none authentication method, you'll need to create an ADMIN token and add an Authorization header using the token.

Export Feature Toggles & Strategies

GET: http://unleash.host.com/api/admin/state/export

The api endpoint /api/admin/state/export will export feature-toggles and strategies as json by default.
You can customize the export with query parameters:

Parameter	Default	Description
format	json	Export format, either json or yaml
download	false	If the exported data should be downloaded as a file
featureToggles	true	Include feature-toggles in the exported data
strategies	true	Include strategies in the exported data

Example response:

GET /api/admin/state/export?format=yaml&featureToggles=1&strategies=1

version: 1
features:
  - name: Feature.A
    description: lorem ipsum
    enabled: false
    strategies:
      - name: default
        parameters: {}
    variants:
      - name: variant1
        weight: 50
      - name: variant2
        weight: 50
  - name: Feature.B
    description: lorem ipsum
    enabled: true
    strategies:
      - name: ActiveForUserWithId
        parameters:
          userIdList: '123,221,998'
      - name: GradualRolloutRandom
        parameters:
          percentage: '10'
    variants: []
strategies:
  - name: country
    description: Enable feature for certain countries
    parameters:
      - name: countries
        type: list
        description: List of countries
        required: true

Import Feature Toggles & Strategies

POST: http://unleash.host.com/api/admin/state/import

You can import feature-toggles and strategies by POSTing to the /api/admin/state/import endpoint.
You can either send the data as JSON in the POST-body or send a file parameter with multipart/form-data (YAML files are also accepted here).

Query Paramters

• drop - Use this parameter if you want the database to be cleaned before import (all strategies and features will be removed).
• keep - Use this query parameter if you want to keep all exiting feature toggle (and strategy) configurations as is (no override), and only insert missing feature toggles from the data provided.

You should be careful using the drop parameter in production environments.
