This gem is a simple forwarding proxy for api requests

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'api_proxy'

And then execute:

Or install it yourself as:

Usage

# config/initializers/api_proxy.rb

ApiProxy.configure(:my_namespace) do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV['SERVICE_API_KEY']
  config.api_secret = ENV['SERVICE_API_SECRET']

  config.api_url = 'http://localhost:3002/api/v1'

  config.request_starts_with = '/_some_key'

  config.allowed_headers = %w[content-type content-length]
end

# config/application.rb

config.middleware.use ApiProxy::Middleware, :my_namespace

Then all requests, starting with /_some_key will be forwarded to your service

GET localhost:3010/_some_key/orders => GET localhost:3000/api/v1/orders
