Example configuration

You can set each Souin configuration key under the http.cache key. There is a configuration example below.

  # Other http sub keys
  cache:
    api:
      basepath: /souin-api # Default route basepath for every additional APIs to avoid conflicts with existing routes
      prometheus: # Prometheus exposed metrics
        basepath: /anything-for-prometheus-metrics # Change the prometheus endpoint basepath
      souin: # Souin listing keys and cache management
        basepath: /anything-for-souin # Change the souin endpoint basepath
