  1. Data & Security

Request Routing and Data Security

Understanding how API requests are routed is crucial for maintaining data security and privacy when using Apidog.

Apidog Desktop Client#

When using the Apidog desktop client:
Request routing:
Requests are sent directly from your local computer to the target server
No routing through Apidog servers
Direct connection maintained
Security:
Sending requests from the Apidog client is identical to sending them from your own local code
Ensures data privacy and security
No intermediary servers involved

Apidog Web#

When using Apidog Web, browser cross-origin restrictions prevent direct requests. You have three options to overcome this limitation:
OptionMethodRoutingApidog Server Involvement
1. Browser ExtensionInstall Apidog Browser ExtensionDirect from local computer❌ No
2. Cloud AgentUse Apidog Cloud AgentThrough Apidog agent serverβœ… Yes (no logs kept)
3. Self-Hosted ProxyInstall Apidog Self-hosted Request Proxy AgentThrough your deployed agent❌ No

Option 1: Apidog Browser Extension (Recommended)#

How it works:
Requests sent directly from your local computer
No Apidog server involvement
Maximum privacy and security

Option 2: Apidog Cloud Agent#

How it works:
Requests routed through Apidog agent server
Important: Apidog server does NOT keep any record of the requests
Temporary routing only

Option 3: Self-Hosted Request Proxy Agent#

How it works:
Requests sent from a server where you've deployed the agent
Full control over the proxy server
No Apidog server involvement
Maximum Privacy
To ensure your requests completely bypass Apidog's servers:
Use the Apidog Desktop Client, or
Use Option 1 (Browser Extension), or
Use Option 3 (Self-Hosted Proxy Agent)
For detailed information, see Request Proxy in Apidog Web.

Data Security Commitment#

Apidog takes data security very seriously and ensures protection through comprehensive security measures.
For detailed information, see our Security Measures.
