# Configure the Service URI

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Deployments behind a load balancer or API proxy often rewrite public URLs; APIkit for REST must emit
links and metadata that match what clients see. Set **Keep RAML/OAS base URI** (the `keepApiBaseUri`
attribute on `apikit:config`) so the base URI in your RAML or OpenAPI Specification stays aligned
with the gateway address.

Set `keepApiBaseUri` to `true` in XML:

```xml
<apikit:config  name="api-config"
                api="api.raml"
                outboundHeadersMapName="outboundHeaders"
                httpStatusVarName="httpStatus"
                keepApiBaseUri="true" />
```
