+defmodule Kino.Proxy do
+  @moduledoc """
+  Functionality for handling proxy requests forwarded from Livebook.
+
+  Livebook proxies requests at the following paths:
+
+    * `/sessions/:id/proxy/*path` - a notebook session
+
+    * `/apps/:slug/:session_id/proxy/*path` - a specific app session
+
+    * `/apps/:slug/proxy/*path` - generic app path, only supported for
+      single-session apps. If the app has automatic shutdowns enabled
+      and it is not currently running, it will be automatically started
+
+  You can define a custom listener to handle requests at these paths.
+  The listener receives a `Plug.Conn` and it should use the `Plug` API
+  to send the response, for example:
+
+      Kino.Proxy.listen(fn conn ->
+        Plug.Conn.send_resp(conn, 200, "hello")
+      end
+
+  > #### Plug {: .info}
+  >
+  > In order to use this feature, you need to add `:plug` as a dependency.
+
+  ## Examples
+
+  Using the proxy feature, we can use Livebook apps to build APIs.
+  For example, we could provide a data export endpoint:
+
+      data = <<...>>
+      token = "auth-token"
+
+      Kino.Proxy.listen(fn
+        %{path_info: ["export", "data"]} = conn ->
+          ["Bearer " <> ^token] = Plug.Conn.get_req_header(conn, "authorization")
+
+          conn
+          |> Plug.Conn.put_resp_header("content-type", "application/csv")
+          |> Plug.Conn.send_resp(200, data)
+
+        conn ->
+          conn
+          |> Plug.Conn.put_resp_header("content-type", "application/text")
+          |> Plug.Conn.send_resp(200, "use /export/data to get extract the report data")
+      end)
+
+  Once deployed as an app, the user would be able to export the data
+  by sending a request to `/apps/:slug/proxy/export/data`.
