KEDA Metrics API
External metrics API server that exposes event-driven metrics from configured scalers to the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. It implements the Kubernetes external metrics API interface, allowing the HPA controller to query scaler-derived metrics when making scaling decisions.
KEDA Metrics API is one of 5 APIs that KEDA publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include External Metrics, HPA, Kubernetes, and Metrics. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, an API reference, and an OpenAPI specification.
This API exposes 1 operation across 1 path, and defines 1 schema. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version 2.x.
Requests are made against a single base URL, http://{host}:{port}.

Authentication & Security 3
KEDA Metrics API declares
3 security schemes
for authenticating requests.
It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (bearerAuth).
It accepts HTTP basic authentication (basicAuth).
An API key is passed in the header as X-API-Key (apiKeyHeader).
bearerAuth— Bearer token authentication for secured metrics endpoints.basicAuth— Basic authentication for secured metrics endpoints.apiKeyHeader— API key authentication via header for secured metrics endpoints.
Paths & Operations 1
