AIProxy

AIProxy is a fully managed proxy service designed specifically for iOS app developers who need to protect their API keys and secure the communication between their applications and third-party APIs. The core function of AIProxy is to eliminate the necessity of building and maintaining custom backend infrastructure or cloud functions that traditionally handle API key management. Instead, developers can integrate AIProxy’s client library into their iOS app in under ten minutes, after which all outgoing API requests are routed through AIProxy’s secure proxy layer. This means that the app never exposes API keys directly to clients or to the network, as the keys are stored on AIProxy’s servers and injected into requests only when the proxy forwards them to the target API. The service supports any HTTP-based API, allowing developers to secure endpoints for AI models, payment gateways, mapping services, and countless other third-party integrations. The proxy also provides endpoint protection by validating incoming requests against custom rules, blocking unauthorized access, and preventing common attacks such as key leakage or replay attempts. Developers can define access controls, rate limits, and allowed origins directly from the AIProxy dashboard, giving them fine-grained control over how their APIs are consumed. The service includes real-time observability features, displaying metrics such as request volume, latency, error rates, and usage patterns per API key. This monitoring helps developers identify unusual traffic spikes, debug failed requests, and optimize their app’s performance without needing separate analytics tools. AIProxy is trusted by thousands of developers who rely on it to safeguard millions of requests daily. The platform offers a free tier that does not re
