What does passthrough or Proxy API mean?

Edited

You can integrate without needing to manage authentication for the connection. The great thing about the Proxy API is that Apideck Vault handles the authentication for you, and you can also view request and response logs directly in Apideck.

This reference explains more details about our Proxy API:

We also offer a few connector-specific guides

An example of where we do a Proxy POST call directly to "quickbooks”:

where the x-apideck-downstream-url is the actual API endpoint of "Quickbooks".
