Overview of how to perform individual requests to an API using the Proxy.
This feature is provided by Nango for free, on cloud or self-hosted editions.
Nango’s Proxy simplifies making authenticated requests to external APIs. It’s a tool designed to save you time and reduce complexity in your interactions with APIs.
The Proxy is useful to perform any individual request to external APIs, e.g.
Fetching data: Great for one-time data retrieval, like getting user metadata.
Writing data: Use it to send data back to an API, such as updating a user profile.
Proxy vs. actionsThe Proxy works for individual API requests, while actions handle more complex scenarios that require multiple requests or data transformations.
