external_apis

You can proxy external API calls with managed billing by invoking externalApi__<connector_name> from code_execution using a path, method, and query, routing requests through a Replit-managed billing gateway to reduce credential exposure.

A centralized API proxy gateway solves the problem of managing credentials and billing across multiple external services by providing a single, safe route through Replit-managed billing, simplifying usage and reducing credential exposure.

To retrieve web image results using the Brave connector, call externalApi__brave from code_execution with the appropriate path, method, and query parameters, then parse result.body for the downstream media URLs and assets.

You do not need to manage your own credentials when proxying requests to external connectors, because the Replit-managed billing proxy securely handles credentials and applies passthrough billing for the proxied API calls.

You parse external API responses for downstream workflows by extracting data from result.body returned by the externalApi__<connector_name> call, including media assets and URLs, directly within your code_execution environment.

The Replit-managed proxy for external API requests requires using code_execution workflows and supports specific connector integrations by invoking externalApi__<connector_name> with a path, method, and query, limiting usage to available connectors.
