Is Reverse Proxy using dispatcher still the best way to access Third-Party API?

We have a requirement to fetch a json from a third-party API. But, we do not want to expose the URL of the third-party. We are trying to avoid fetching this information from UI->AEM-> Third-party.

 

I came across this blog to use ReverseProxy https://medium.com/@ryamsousa.123/configuring-proxy-in-aem-dispatcher-for-integration-with-external-apis-0aa0eaabfc4a

 

Wondering if there are other ways to it on CDN level itself. We are using AEM Cloud.

Reverse proxy functionality through Dispatcher (Apache) is still supported in AEM as a Cloud. However, AEM as a Cloud now also supports the 'originselectors' feature via CDN, allowing connections to non-AEM servers (reverse proxy requests to different origins). Utilizing this feature through the CDN offers numerous benefits. For more details, please refer to the 'Configuring Traffic at the CDN | Adobe Experience Manager.
