List and inspect your applications

You can list and inspect Spin applications deployed to your Akamai Functions account using the spin aka plugin.

List your applications

To list all Spin applications deployed to your Akamai Functions account, use the spin aka app list command.

spin aka app list

Depending on which apps you have deployed to your Akamai Functions account, the actual output will differ from the output shown here.

hello-akamai-functions  
validate-jwt-tokens  
query-external-database

By default, spin aka app list will print the name of each Spin application deployed to your Akamai Functions account as plain text. Alternatively, you can add the --format flag and change the output format to JSON.

spin aka app list --format json

This time, you’ll receive the list of Spin applications as a JSON array.

[  
  "hello-akamai-functions",  
  "validate-jwt-tokens",  
  "query-external-database"  
]

You can also use the --verbose flag to learn more about your apps. Below, you’ll see the spin app names alongside their respective app ids.

spin aka apps list --verbose  
hello-akamai-functions(25a5fd1e-d476-40fd-bc54-6cee0e846540)  
validate-jwt-tokens(8d8ffd7d-57fe-4c0e-b982-251542db8792)  
query-external-database(b6cc1427-392c-4f96-859d-bb4d0adc216c)

Inspect an application

Use the spin aka app status command, to gather fundamental information about a Spin application deployed to your Akamai Functions account. This command provides the status of the application your workspace is linked to. Alternatively, you can specify an app using the --app-name flag.

spin aka app status
Name: hello-akamai-functions  
ID: ec8a19d8-6d10-4056-bb69-cc864306b489  
URL: <https://ec8a19d8-6d10-4056-bb69-cc864306b489.fwf.app>  
Created at: 2025-05-23 16:11:49 UTC  
Invocations: 229 in the past 7 days

As you can see, you’ll also receive the public origin, that can be used to access the Spin application. Similar to the spin aka app list command, you can add the --format json flag to make the command return fundamental information about a particular application as a JSON object.

spin aka app info --name hello-akamai-functions --format json
