How to call external APIs from ORDS/APEX middle tier instead of the database to avoid exposing DB server IP?

Thaer AlomourOct 9 2025

When using APEX_WEB_SERVICE to call external APIs, the requests are sent from the database server, which exposes the DB server’s IP to external systems. Is there a way to make these API calls originate from the ORDS or APEX middle tier instead, without using a proxy?
