text: **Non-proxy integrations and data transformations (REST API only)**
  
  Your API integration contains an integration request and integration response. You can have API 
  
  Gateway directly pass the request and response between the frontend and backend, or you can 
  
  manually set up an integration request and integration response. 
  
  •*proxy integration –*you let API Gateway automatically pass all data in the HTTP request/response 
  
  between the client and backend, automatically, without modiﬁcation 
  
  •*non-proxy integration –*you set up a custom integration request and integration response, where 
  
  you can alter the data that ﬂows between client and backend
