Using self-deployed HTTP proxy

In this section you will learn how to use self-deployed HTTP proxy

By default, all queries for HTTP-based resources (Custom Rest API, 3rd party integrations) are sent by Jet Admin through our Jet Bridge proxy endpoint at https://api.jetadmin.io/api/proxy_request/ for convenience. Requests data going through our servers are never being recorded, but if you don't want data to go through Jet Admin servers you can use a self-hosted HTTP Proxy on your side as part of an open-source Jet Bridge application.

Using self-deployed HTTP proxy

Follow the instructions after you have created the Jet Admin Rest API resource:

1. Install Jet Bridge

Use the following guides to install the Jet Bridge application as a standalone Python application or Docker container.

You can skip a database configuration part and use Jet Bridge just for proxying HTTP requests. For such cases use none for the DATABASE_ENGINE configuration parameter.

After installation specify the following parameter if you don't want to place Jet Bridge behind your web server and set CORS headers on your own: ALLOW_ORIGIN = <Jet Admin hostname> (https://app.jetadmin.io or your custom domain)

Check the link below to learn how to specify Jet Bridge configuration:

Configuration

2. Run Jet Bridge

3. Update resource to use custom HTTP proxy

In resource settings click the Edit Settings button and set Custom HTTP proxy to your Jet Bridge proxy request URL: <JET_BRIDGE_HOST>/api/proxy_request/

For example for Jet Bridge running on localhost and port 8888 this will be: http://localhost:8888/api/proxy_request/

4. You are done!

Now all HTTP queries for this resource will be sent through your server.
