In Fiorano API Framework, data flows in the following manner:

  • App to Target
    • Proxy Request: Request passes from App to API Proxy.
    • Target Request: Request passes from API Proxy to Target.
  • Target to App
    • Target Response: Response passes from Target to API Proxy.
    • Proxy Response: Response passes from API Proxy to App.

Every resource that gets added for various purposes has the above structure and policies can be attached to any part (endpoints) of the flow, as per requirement.
