Service Bridges allow you to configure proxy endpoints that connect your project to external APIs. They enable modules and the platform to interact with external services through a managed, authenticated gateway.

​
What are Service Bridges?

A service bridge creates a proxy endpoint within the Kodexa platform that forwards requests to an external API. This provides:
  • Centralized authentication — API credentials are managed as secrets, not embedded in modules
  • Request routing — Modules reference a bridge endpoint rather than external URLs directly
  • Monitoring — All requests through bridges are logged and can be monitored

Managing Service Bridges

​
Creating a Service Bridge

1

Click Add Service Bridge

Open the creation form from the Service Bridges page.
2

Configure Endpoint

Set the bridge name, target URL, authentication method, and any required headers.
3

Test Connection

Verify that the bridge can reach the external API.
4

Save

The bridge endpoint becomes available for use in your project’s modules and pipelines.
Service bridges use organization secrets for authentication credentials. Make sure the required secrets are configured before creating a bridge that needs them.
