FAQPage Schema
How do I proxy external API requests without exposing credentials to the client?

Use the externalApi__<connector_name> function within code_execution to route calls, passing query parameters and parsing the result.body object for the returned data.

How does passthrough billing work for external API connectors?

You can call externalApi__brave with a GET request to endpoints like Brave's image search, filtering results directly through query parameters and parsing result.body.

Can I use code_execution to route web requests to external APIs?

This method proxies the request server-side, ensuring API credentials remain secure and are never exposed to the frontend client environment.

What is the best way to access the Brave search API through a secure proxy?

Execute a GET request with the required query parameters, then parse the result.body object in your code_execution environment to retrieve the search data.

Does making external web requests through a proxy require manual API key management?

You simply invoke the connector function with your query parameters, and the passthrough billing mechanism securely handles the underlying credential validation.
