# Connect - Agent HTTP API
The `/agent/connect` endpoints interact with [Connect](/docs/connect/index.html)
with agent-local operations.
These endpoints may mirror the [non-agent Connect endpoints](/api/connect.html)
in some cases. Almost all agent-local Connect endpoints perform local caching
to optimize performance of Connect without having to make requests to the server.
## Authorize
This endpoint tests whether a connection attempt is authorized between
two services. This is the primary API that must be implemented by
[proxies](/docs/connect/proxies.html) or
[native integrations](/docs/connect/native.html)
that wish to integrate with Connect. Prior to calling this API, it is expected
that the client TLS certificate has been properly verified against the
current CA roots.
The implementation of this API uses locally cached data
and doesn't require any request forwarding to a server. Therefore, the
response typically occurs in microseconds to impose minimal overhead on the
connection attempt.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `POST` | `/agent/connect/authorize` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | -------------------- | --------------- |
| `NO` | `none` | `background refresh` | `service:write` |
### Parameters
- `Target` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the service that is being
requested.
- `ClientCertURI` `(string: <required>)` - The unique identifier for the
requesting client. This is currently the URI SAN from the TLS client
certificate.
- `ClientCertSerial` `(string: <required>)` - The colon-hex-encoded serial
number for the requesting client cert. This is used to check against
revocation lists.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"Target": "db",
"ClientCertURI": "spiffe://dc1-7e567ac2-551d-463f-8497-f78972856fc1.consul/ns/default/dc/dc1/svc/web",
"ClientCertSerial": "04:00:00:00:00:01:15:4b:5a:c3:94"
}
```
### Sample Request
```text
$ curl \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/connect/authorize
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"Authorized": true,
"Reason": "Matched intention: web => db (allow)"
}
```
## Certificate Authority (CA) Roots
This endpoint returns the trusted certificate authority (CA) root certificates.
This is used by [proxies](/docs/connect/proxies.html) or
[native integrations](/docs/connect/native.html) to verify served client
or server certificates are valid.
This is equivalent to the [non-Agent Connect endpoint](/api/connect.html),
but the response of this request is cached locally at the agent. This allows
for very fast response times and for fail open behavior if the server is
unavailable. This endpoint should be used by proxies and native integrations.

## Service Leaf Certificate
This endpoint returns the leaf certificate representing a single service.
This certificate is used as a server certificate for accepting inbound
connections and is also used as the client certificate for establishing
outbound connections to other services.
The agent generates a CSR locally and calls the
[CA sign API](/api/connect/ca.html) to sign it. The resulting certificate
is cached and returned by this API until it is near expiry or the root
certificates change.
This API supports blocking queries. The blocking query will block until
a new certificate is necessary because the existing certificate will expire
or the root certificate is being rotated. This blocking behavior allows
clients to efficiently wait for certificate rotations.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `GET` | `/agent/connect/ca/leaf/:service` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | -------------------- | --------------- |
| `YES` | `all` | `background refresh` | `service:write` |
### Parameters
- `Service` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the service for the leaf
certificate. This is specified in the URL. The service does not need to
exist in the catalog, but the proper ACL permissions must be available.
