This repository shows how to accept incoming https requests from any client, forwarding them to a server; and detokenize the token references (id) from the response, passing raw token data to the requester (client).

In this setup, the client wants to query the server for a user's SSN. The server has that data tokenized, so we will transform the server response to detokenize the ssn. To represent the server URL, we will use https://echo.basistheory.com/anything, to echo back whatever was passed in the request.

Create a new Management Application with full application and proxy permissions.

Paste the API key to a new terraform.tfvars file at this repository root:

management_api_key = "key_W8wA8CmcbwXxJsomxeWHVy"

Initialize Terraform:

terraform init

And run Terraform to provision all the required resources:

terraform apply

Use the inbound_proxy_key generated as a Terraform state output to make the following request.

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.basistheory.com/proxy?bt-proxy-key={{inbound_proxy_key}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"ssn": "ea0625f8-7354-4aba-9c34-0aa596353355"
}'

The ssn value in the request should be replaced by a token previously created.
