Add SSH Tunnel Feature to RestAPI Resource

It would be nice to have the SSH Tunnel feature within the RestAPI resource. We have some internal API resources that cannot be accessed any other way.

Hey @matth thanks for reaching out about this. I’ve logged your request and we’ll definitely let you know when we add this feature. How important is this for your team right now? Is it a major blocker?

It’s not major, we would def have a use for it though. Thanks @alex

This is a feature we would also like to have - thanks.

This has turned out to be a bit more important recently. It's kinda a bummer this feature is not available. Not ready to self-host retool just for this application.

This is a major blocker for my team. Would love to see this become a feature.

Hi there,

Thanks for surfacing! I'll add your +1, but, as a heads up, this isn't on our roadmap yet It looks like current suggested workaround is to setup an API proxy. Would that work for you?

Hey Tess, yes, API proxies work for now (we use these for local dev), however we'd love to have the same SSH tunneling features that DB's have for custom REST API's.
