Path Parameters
Requests to the Proxy API are sent to the following URL, with the parameters described below:The ID of the Connection to use for the request. The API will respond with a 404 if this Connection does not exist.
The remainder of the URL after
connection_id
is used as the path for the upstream request to the Connector
identified by the provided Connection. This is appended to the base URL of the Connector (which can also be
overridden by a special header - see below).Query Parameters
Any query parameters specified will be passed through to the upstream request. These are not processed by the Proxy API with any special meaning.Headers
Any headers which begin withX-Versori-
are not forwarded to the upstream request.
All other headers received by the Proxy API will be forwarded to the upstream request. This may include headers not
explicitly set by the user, for example those which are added by our own infrastructure (i.e. at load balancers or
reverse proxies), or any which are added by the browser if the requests are being made from a web application.
Special Headers
There are a few headers which can modify the proxying behaviour:This header can be used to define Connection Variables which should be applied to the base URL of the request and
override those already defined by the Connection.The format of this header is a url-encoded form (specifically, This header may be specified multiple times, all values will be applied in the order they are defined, with later
values overriding earlier ones.
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
) string, where
each key-value pair is separated by an equals sign (=
) and each pair is separated by an ampersand (&
).Example:In certain circumstances, the Proxy API may receive some headers which are incompatible with the upstream system.
This header can be used to specify a comma-separated list of headers which should be removed from the request before
it is sent to the Connector.Example:
This header can be used to override the base URL of the Connector. This is useful when the Connector has a dynamic
base URL, such as a subdomain or a region/data-center, and the value of this base URL is not known until the user
has connected through Versori.Example:
This header can be used to force the Proxy API to refresh the credential for the Connection before making the
request. This is useful when testing a Connection can be refreshed without user interactionExample:
