TGAPI v2 - The Basics

The Transparent Gateway API (TGAPI) is a proxy that enables TokenEx clients to send and receive HTTP payloads while invoking the TGAPI to perform processing on the payload as a transparent intermediary. The TGAPI sits between our client and a 3rd party endpoint and can handle inbound and outbound HTTP payloads that are initiated by our client or the third-party endpoint. There are four basic data flows currently supported:

Data Flow	Request Origin	Description
Transparent Detokenization	TokenEx Client	Detokenization of an outbound API request.
Transparent Tokenization	TokenEx Client	Tokenization of sensitive data in the response to an outbound API request.

Data Flow	Request Origin	Description
Proxy Tokenization	Third Party	Tokenization of the inbound request
Proxy Detokenization	Third Party	Detokenization of the response to the inbound request

In addition to tokenization and detokenization, the TGAPI has other processing capabilities such as hashing, encryption, decryption, and encoding which are described here.
