Manage gateways

You have several different options for managing an AI Gateway.

Create gateway

Default gateway

AI Gateway can automatically create a gateway for you. When you use default as a gateway ID and no gateway with that ID exists in your account, AI Gateway creates it on the first authenticated request.

The request that triggers auto-creation must include a valid cf-aig-authorization header. An unauthenticated request to a default gateway that does not yet exist does not create the gateway.

The auto-created default gateway uses the following settings:

SettingDefault value
AuthenticationOn
Log collectionOn
CachingOff (TTL of 0)
Rate limitingOff

After creation, you can edit the default gateway settings like any other gateway. If you delete the default gateway, sending a new authenticated request to the default gateway ID auto-creates it again.
