  title: Cilium BGP Endpoint API
  description: The Cilium REST API provides access to the Cilium daemon and agent endpoints for managing Kubernetes network policy, security, and connectivity. The API is served by the cilium-agent process over a local Unix domain socket and HTTP interface. It covers endpoint management, identity management, policy configuration, IP address management, service configuration, BGP operations, and daemon health status.
