# Admin API

To run a node with the Admin API enabled, use command line argument `--api-admin-enabled=true`.

### Path <a href="#endpoint" id="endpoint"></a>

```
/ext/admin
```

### API Methods <a href="#api-methods" id="api-methods"></a>

#### admin.alias <a href="#adminalias" id="adminalias"></a>

Assign an alias to an API endpoint, basically a different endpoint for the API. The original endpoint will still work. This change only affects this node; other nodes will not know about this alias.

* `endpoint` is the original endpoint of the API. `endpoint` should only include the part of the endpoint after `/ext/`.
* The API being aliased can now be called at `ext/alias`.
* `alias` can be at most 512 characters.
