How Do I Access Private APIs On Appsmith?

Issue

I cannot connect to private APIs without self-hosting Appsmith or using a proxy.

Resolution

To connect to private APIs using Appsmith, the solution is to self-host Appsmith. This means hosting the Appsmith application on a private server and configuring it to use the private API credentials for authentication.

You can view our comprehensive Self-Hosting docs to get started, and use the Authenticated API datasource to connect to your private API.
