NOTE: This tool is intended to be installed via the Akamai CLI package manager, which can be retrieved from the releases page of the Akamai CLI tool.
- Node 7
- npm install after every update
- Ensure that the 'bin' subdirectory is in your path
In order to use this configuration, you need to:
- Set up your credential files as described in the authorization and credentials sections of the getting started guide on developer.akamai.com.
- When working through this process you need to give grants for the property manager API and the User Admin API (if you will want to move properties). The section in your configuration file should be called 'papi'.
The Akamai Config Kit is a set of nodejs libraries that wraps Akamai's {OPEN} APIs to help simplify common configuration tasks.
This kit can be used in different ways:
- As a no-fuss command line utility to interact with the library.
- As a library you can integrate into your own Node.js application.
- As a gulp integration to integrate with your Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment toolset.

Download the Gulp integration project from https:/akamai-open/gulp-akamaiconfigkit
In your gulpfile, include the library and define your build targets.
let gulp = require('gulp'),
akamaiconfig = require('gulp-akamaiconfigkit');
const localConfig = {
host: 'www.example.com',
smokeTestUrls: ['/'],
emailNotification: '[email protected]',
};
const credConfig = {
path: "~/.edgerc",
section: "papi"
}
let akamai = new akamaiconfig(credConfig);
gulp.task('deploy-akamai', () => {
return gulp.src("src/akamai/rules.json")
.pipe(akamai.deployStaging(localConfig))
.pipe(akamai.testStaging(localConfig.host, localConfig.smokeTestUrls))
.pipe(akamai.promoteStagingToProduction(localConfig));
})
This integration can be used to have a CD tool such as Jenkins push changes to Akamai whenever a rules file changes in your SCM. This allows you to treat your configuration as code and keep your own rules locally.
Start with creating the WebSite object:
let WebSite = require('akamaiconfigkit').WebSite;
let exampleDotCom = new WebSite();
exampleDotCom.copy("qa-www.example.com", "sage-www.example.com")
.then(data -> { console.log("Rules copied accross Akamai configurations!")});
This will use the [default] credentials in the ~/.edgerc file. Alternate object creations include:
Specifying to use the [continuous_delivery] section in the file /cyberark/edgerc
let exampleDotCom = new WebSite({path:"/cyberark/edgerc", section: "[continuous_delivery]"});
You can alternatively specify the clientToken, clientSecret, accessToken, and host as properties of the
constructor object
let exampleDotCom = new WebSite({clientToken:"a1b2", clientSecret: "c3d4", accessToken: "e5f6", host: "g7h8.luna.akamaiapis.net"});
The Akamai CLI is a new tool and as such we have made some design choices worth mentioning.
- Edge Hostnames - if not specified, the system will create a new edge hostname, but cannot assign it as it will not yet be active. You will need to run a 'modify' subsequently to assign the hostname.
- CPCodes - there is currently a fairly strict limitation on creation of CPCodes. To work around this, pass in a specific CPCode to use. Your account team can create a bunch of CPCodes which you could then use with your properties. Cloned properties will inherit the CPCode of the cloned property.
- Credentials - the tool expects your credentials to be stored under a 'papi' section in your ~/.edgerc file. If you are unfamiliar with the authentication and provisioning for OPEN APIs, see the "Get Started" section of https://developer.akamai.com
- Move - in order to perform move functions, the credentials must have both property manager and user admin grants.
