Manage Redpanda clusters programmatically by using the HTTP Admin API on port 9644. This REST interface enables automated cluster provisioning, configuration changes, and health diagnostics for brokers and partitions.

The HTTP Admin API provides a REST interface to administer Redpanda clusters, replacing manual CLI operations. It handles cluster provisioning, broker configuration, partition management, and enterprise feature activation like RBAC and audits.

Configure Redpanda security and enterprise features by sending HTTP REST requests to the Admin API. You can manage RBAC, authentication settings, Cloud Storage, ConnectRPC services, and audits through dedicated endpoints.

Run health checks and diagnostics on Redpanda brokers by accessing debug endpoints via the Admin API. These endpoints provide metrics, self-tests, and cluster health audits to maintain operational stability.

The Redpanda Admin API supports automation for routine cluster maintenance tasks through its HTTP REST and ConnectRPC services. You can script cluster rollouts, perform health audits, and apply configuration changes programmatically.

Start using the Redpanda Admin API by sending a basic HTTP REST call to port 9644, such as curl http://localhost:9644/v1/brokers. This retrieves broker information and validates your connection for further cluster operations.
