## API proxy

For a CDC - National Environmental Public Health Tracking endpoint with no pre-built tool, the proxy forwards your request with the connected user's credentials attached.

```bash
# The path segment is the target URL, URL-safe base64 encoded:
# https://ephtracking.cdc.gov/apigateway/api/v1/contentareas/json

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9lcGh0cmFja2luZy5jZGMuZ292L2FwaWdhdGV3YXkvYXBpL3YxL2NvbnRlbnRhcmVhcy9qc29u?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"
```
