What it is

The edge is a trusted server-side layer in front of your users — a web server, function, or gateway — that can validate input, hold secrets and forward requests to an API on the browser’s behalf.

In the Credicorp API

The Credicorp consent endpoint treats your edge as the trust boundary: it validates the visitor’s cookie-banner interaction, then forwards the snapshot server-side, so the hub can accept it without a CSRF check. Using an edge also lets you cache reads and apply your own rate limiting.

Frequently asked questions

Why forward through an edge instead of the browser?

Because your edge can validate the input and act as the CSRF/origin trust boundary. The consent endpoint relies on that, and an edge also lets you cache and protect the API.
