Can team members work offline without losing cloud rules?

Yes. ProxyCeptor caches the latest valid cloud rules locally (`cdnProxyRulesCache`). When offline, rules continue operating smoothly and sync when reconnected.

What happens if a developer edits a cloud rule locally?

ProxyCeptor implements local-wins conflict resolution. The developer's local edit takes precedence in their session without mutating the cloud rule for other teammates.

Is my private API data stored on ProxyCeptor cloud servers?

No. ProxyCeptor is local-first. Only the rule definitions (URL patterns, replacement payloads) sync to the cloud. Real payload traffic and session data remain strictly local.

How to Mock Real API Calls with Cloud Rules & Zero SSL Certificates

💡Direct Answer & Summary

ProxyCeptor Cloud enables teams to manage, share, and synchronize proxy mocking rules centrally via multi-tenant workspaces. Rules created in the cloud dashboard automatically sync to team members' browsers and remote test devices using workspace API keys. Featuring conflict-free local-wins merging and a server-side CORS forwarder, teams eliminate manual rule distribution and root certificate installations.

The Core Challenge & Workflow

Distributed engineering teams often struggle with inconsistent test data across developers, QA engineers, and automated CI pipelines. ProxyCeptor Cloud centralizes API simulation rules, enabling instant synchronization across all developer machines, test runners, and physical OTT media devices.

Key Capabilities & Features

Centralized Cloud Workspaces

Group rules into organized workspaces and profiles (e.g., "Payment Regression", "Subscription Tier Mocks", "CORS Testing").

Local-Wins Conflict Resolution

Developers can safely override cloud rules locally for transient debugging without overwriting canonical team rules.

Zero SSL Certificate OTT Debugging

Sync cloud mock rules directly to Smart TVs (Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Android TV) via the lightweight in-memory SDK.

Server-Side CORS Proxy Forwarder

Use the `/api/proxy` forwarder route to bypass browser CORS restrictions and execute synthetic server-to-server overrides.

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

Create Cloud Workspace

Author & Publish Mock Rules

Create rules in the cloud editor with URL patterns, deep-merge payloads, status codes, and latency.

Generate Workspace API Key

Issue an API key (e.g. `x-sdm-api-key`) with appropriate member permissions.

Connect Browsers & Devices

Paste the API key into the Chrome Extension or include it in `proxyceptor-sdk.js` to immediately activate synchronized rules.
