# How do I proxy API calls?

The `/proxy` path makes it possible for your authenticated UI users to access API resources.

A URL into the API typically looks something like this:

```
https://api.cloudcms.com/repositories/f0fb4efd3de07c54420a/branches/9bcdbfea8f2d900f0387/nodes/<nodeId>/attachments/thumb.jpg
```

To invoke this URL, you need to be authenticated to the `api.cloudcms.com` endpoint.

Users who are authenticated to the UI may opt to use the `/proxy` path to proxy their requests through the UI server and to the API. The proxied call is then executed against the API as though it were being invoked directly.

Thus, a user can invoke their method calls (`GET`, `PUT`, `POST`, etc) against a URL that looks something like this:

```
https://mycustomer.cloudcms.net/proxy/repositories/f0fb4efd3de07c54420a/branches/9bcdbfea8f2d900f0387/nodes/<nodeId>/attachments/thumb.jpg
