Spring Cloud - Eureka Server API

Eureka Server provides various APIs for the client instances or the services to talk to. A lot of these APIs are abstracted and can be used directly with @DiscoveryClient we defined and used earlier. Just to note, their HTTP counterparts also exist and can be useful for Non-Spring framework usage of Eureka.

We can use Server API to get the information about the client running EurekaClient can also be invoked via the browser using http://localhost:8761/eureka/apps/eurekaclient as can be seen here −
