This component allows OutSystems applications to consume and expose real-time, event-driven data streams over HTTP.

Features

• Support for exposing SSE-enabled REST APIs from OutSystems.
• Ability to consume third-party REST APIs that use SSE.
• Allows processing of the events returned (after the stream ends).
• Option to forward events (in real-time) to an OutSystems REST API response for direct communication with the client.

Forwarding events is particularly useful in scenarios where the external API request requires authentication (e.g., using API keys, tokens, etc.), and you do not want to expose sensitive credentials in the client-side request. By forwarding events, you can keep these authentication details secure on the server side.

Note: This component follows the same core principles as the SSE Push Event Hub component, providing support for Server-Sent Events in OutSystems applications. While both components share similar functionality, SSE Proxy aims to streamline integration with third-party REST APIs that use SSE, giving developers the flexibility to consume and/or expose SSE-enabled REST APIs.
