Authentication & Security 2

Kubernetes Services EndpointSlices API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (JWT) (bearerAuth). It requires mutual TLS (clientCertificate). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • bearerAuth — Kubernetes service account or user bearer token.
  • clientCertificate — Client TLS certificate signed by the cluster CA.

Paths & Operations 7

Across 3 paths, the API surfaces 7 operations — 1 DELETE, 3 GET, 1 PATCH, 1 POST, 1 PUT. Each is listed below with its method, path, parameters, and response codes.

Schemas 9

The contract defines 9 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are Endpoint (7 properties), ObjectMeta (7 properties), EndpointSlice (6 properties), EndpointPort (4 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

ListMeta
object
Metadata for list responses.
3 properties
Endpoint
object
A single network endpoint representing a pod IP address, its readiness conditions, and optional topology information for advanced routing.
7 properties 1 required
EndpointPort
object
A network port definition shared by all endpoints in the slice. An EndpointSlice may have up to 100 ports.
4 properties
EndpointSliceList
object
A list of EndpointSlice objects.
4 properties 1 required
ObjectMeta
object
Standard Kubernetes object metadata.
7 properties
EndpointConditions
object
Conditions describing the current state of an endpoint, used by consumers to determine whether the endpoint should receive traffic.
3 properties
EndpointSlice
object
An EndpointSlice represents a subset of the endpoints that implement a Service. For a given Service, multiple EndpointSlices may exist, and together they repre…
6 properties 2 required
Status
object
Error or result status.
4 properties
EndpointHints
object
Routing hints that guide topology-aware routing decisions, directing clients to geographically or logically proximate endpoints.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Kubernetes Services EndpointSlices API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
