frp

frp is an open-source fast reverse proxy that exposes services running behind a NAT or firewall to the public internet. Both the server (frps) and the client (frpc) include built-in HTTP admin APIs that operators can use to inspect runtime status, manage proxies and visitors, hot-reload configuration, and scrape Prometheus metrics.

frp publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Clients API, Configuration API, Health API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include NAT Traversal, Reverse Proxy, Tunneling, and Open-Source.

frp’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, release notes, and 6 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/frp: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
