    Hi!  SwaggerHub executes requests through a proxy on our server so we can deal with the challenges of CORS, etc.  So the request actually does go through our server.

     

    That means that if your server is inside your firewall (i.e. unreachable from the internet), you will _not_ be able to call it directly through SwaggerHub.  We will be adding a feature to disable the proxy (or use a custom one) but that's not yet available.

    Hi, you can certainly call your API if it's external.  Just set the `host` and `basePath` fields and it will call those external services.  Please post back with any questions!

Was the disable proxy ever added?  If so, how is it accessed?

    Hi there,

     

    Interesting timing, we are working on this now! We expect to be releasing this in a couple of weeks. There will be a USE BROWSER | USE PROXY toggle at the very bottom of the docs view in SwaggerHub (swagger-ui view).

     

    I'm glad it sounds like this will help you!

        Yes it has! You should now see the option to use the browser or the proxy when you scroll down to the bottom of an API that's hosted in SwaggerHub.
