APIProvider is an company or entity that create and offer API and in essentially provides data ,functionality to other application.


Were as API Proxy act as a intermediator b/w Client application and Actual API and providing additional functionality such as Security ,rate limit, monitoring without changing the actual backend API. essentially it is a controlled Access point to the API with added functionality.
