Proxies

Put authentication, throttling, and response shaping in front of third-party APIs.

What you can do with proxies

  • Authenticate requests with API keys or bearer tokens
  • Rate limiting protects upstream APIs from abuse
  • Response shaping returns only what your client needs
  • Proxy to any external API like OpenAI, Stripe, or custom services

Put a secure control layer in front of upstream APIs

Authenticate callers at the edge, keep secrets server-side, and enforce a stable contract between clients and third-party services.

Control what reaches upstream

Protect credentials, quotas, and contracts behind one endpoint.

  • Require authentication before forwarding traffic so only approved clients can access upstream capabilities.
  • Keep API keys, tokens, and upstream credentials in server-side connection settings rather than shipping them to browsers or mobile apps.
  • Apply rate limits and guardrails at the proxy layer to protect upstream quotas and reduce noisy traffic spikes.
