| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The Speakeasy Proxy is a simple reverse proxy that allows capturing of API traffic for use with the Speakeasy Platform. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The proxy is currently designed to be single use, and will only capture HTTP traffic for a single API, this means that it should not be used as a replacement for traditional reverse proxies or API gateways and instead used in conjunction with them. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The proxy requires an OpenAPI document to be provided which helps to associate the captured traffic with the API. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Usage |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### Configuration |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The proxy is configured using a YAML file. The following is an example configuration: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +```yaml |
| 18 | +downstreamBaseURL: http://localhost:8001 |
| 19 | +apiID: proxy-test |
| 20 | +versionID: "0.0.1" |
| 21 | +openAPIDocs: |
| 22 | + - ./httpbin.yaml |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | +The available configuration options are: |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | +| Option | Description | Required | Default | Location | |
| 28 | +| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | |
| 29 | +| `downstreamBaseURL` | The base URL of the downstream API to forward traffic to | :heavy_check_mark: | `-` | Config File or `DOWNSTREAM_BASE_URL` env var | |
| 30 | +| `SPEAKEASY_API_KEY` | The Speakeasy API Key (retrieved from the [Speakeasy Platform](https://app.speakeasyapi.dev/)) to use when communicating with Speakeasy | :heavy_check_mark: | `-` | `SPEAKEASY_API_KEY` env var only | |
| 31 | +| `apiID` | The ID of the API to capture traffic for | :heavy_check_mark: | `-` | Config File or `SPEAKEASY_API_ID` env var | |
| 32 | +| `versionID` | The Version of the API version to capture traffic for | :heavy_check_mark: | `-` | Config File or `SPEAKEASY_VERSION_ID` env var | |
| 33 | +| `openAPIDocs` | A list of OpenAPI documents to use to associate captured traffic with the API. If multiple are provided they are merged with the [Speakeasy Merge Functionality](https://github.com/speakeasy-api/speakeasy/blob/main/docs/merge.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | `["./openapi.yaml"]` | Config File or `OPENAPI_DOCS` env var | |
| 34 | +| `configLocation` | The location of the configuration file to use | :heavy_minus_sign: | `./config.yaml` | `CONFIG_LOCATION` env var only | |
| 35 | +| `port` | The port to listen on | :heavy_minus_sign: | `3333` | Config File or `PORT` env var | |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Running the Proxy |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The proxy can be built and run either as a binary or as a Docker image currently, allowing for a number of different deployment scenarios, such as running locally, in simple container based cloud environments or in more complex container orchestration environments like Kubernetes. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +To run the proxy follow the steps below: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +1. Create and obtain an API Key from the [Speakeasy Platform](https://app.speakeasyapi.dev/) either by creating a new Workspace or using an existing one. |
| 44 | +2. Request access to the Speakeasy Request Capture Beta in our [Slack Community](https://join.slack.com/t/speakeasy-dev/shared_invite/zt-1eih279u9-uahunmIavQZJpiGmEIqYbA) |
| 45 | +3. Create a configuration file (see [Configuration](#configuration) for details) ie. `./config.yaml` or set the required environment variables. |
| 46 | +4. Create or use an existing OpenAPI document for the API you wish to capture traffic for and make sure it is accessible to the proxy ie. `./openapi.yaml` |
| 47 | +5. Run the proxy either as a binary or as a Docker image (see [Running](#running) for details) |
| 48 | +6. View the captured traffic in the [Speakeasy Platform](https://app.speakeasyapi.dev/) in your worksspace. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### Testing the Proxy locally |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +If you just want to test our the proxy locally, there are a few different ways you can do this: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +1. The first is via our [Speakeasy CLI tool](https://github.com/speakeasy-api/speakeasy) (Documentation [here](https://github.com/speakeasy-api/speakeasy/blob/main/docs/proxy.md)) which allows running the proxy locally and capturing traffic for any HTTP (HTTPS terminatation not supported) API easily using simple command line options to configure the proxy. |
| 55 | + 1. Request access to the Speakeasy Request Capture Beta in our [Slack Community](https://join.slack.com/t/speakeasy-dev/shared_invite/zt-1eih279u9-uahunmIavQZJpiGmEIqYbA) |
| 56 | + 2. Authenticate the CLI tool using the `speakeasy auth login` command. |
| 57 | + 3. Run the proxy using the Speakeasy CLI tool: `speakeasy proxy --api-id {API_ID} --version-id {VERSION_ID} --schema {OPENAPI_DOC_LOCATION} --downstream {DOWNSTREAM_BASE_URL}` |
| 58 | + 4. Use the API you are capturing traffic for. |
| 59 | + 5. View the captured traffic in the [Speakeasy Platform](https://app.speakeasyapi.dev/) in your workspace. |
| 60 | +2. The second way is using the [httpbin](https://httpbin.org/) service as a test API to test it out, which we have setup to run using Docker Compose. Instruction for this are as follows: |
| 61 | + 1. Follow steps 1-2 from [Running the Proxy](#running-the-proxy) above. |
| 62 | + 2. Start the httpbin service and proxy using docker-compose: `SPEAKEASY_API_KEY='{API_KEY_HERE}' docker-compose up` |
| 63 | + 3. Access the httpbin service via the proxy at <http://localhost:3333> and use some of the endpoints to generate traffic. |
| 64 | + 4. View the captured traffic in the [Speakeasy Platform](https://app.speakeasyapi.dev/) in your workspace. |
