# Proxy

> Direct API access to any connector with built-in authentication.

Morph's Proxy feature enables direct access to any connector's native API endpoints while handling authentication automatically. This gives you the flexibility to use platform-specific features beyond our unified models.

## Key Features

✓ Direct access to native APIs
✓ Automatic authentication handling
✓ Request/response transformation
✓ Rate limiting protection
✓ Error handling

## Quick Start

```typescript theme={null}
import { Morph } from "@runmorph/cloud";

// Initialize morph client
const morph = new Morph({
  publicKey: "pk_live_xxxxxxx",
  secretKey: "sk_live_xxxxxxx",
});

// Load a connection
const connection = morph.connections({
  connectorId: "hubspot",
  ownerId: "customer-123",
});

// Make a direct API call to HubSpot
const response = await connection.proxy({
  method: "GET",
  path: "/crm/v3/objects/contacts",
  query: {
    limit: 100,
  },
});
```

## Benefits

* **Maximum Flexibility**: Access any API endpoint
* **Simplified Auth**: No token management needed
* **Error Protection**: Standardized error handling
* **Future Proof**: Works with new API versions
* **Development Speed**: Quick implementation of custom features

## Best Practices

1. **Use Unified Models First**:

   * Start with our unified models when possible
   * Use proxy for platform-specific features

2. **Error Handling**:

   * Always handle potential errors
   * Check rate limits
   * Implement retries for failed requests

3. **Performance**:
   * Batch requests when possible
   * Cache responses when appropriate
   * Monitor API usage
