## Proxy auth with Electric

This example demonstrates authorizing access to the Electric HTTP API using a proxy. It implements the [proxy-auth](/docs/sync/guides/auth#proxy-auth) pattern described in the [Auth](/docs/sync/guides/auth) guide.

The main proxy code is in [`./app/shape-proxy/route.ts`](https://github.com/electric-sql/electric/blob/main/examples/proxy-auth/app/shape-proxy/route.ts):
