Description

## Motivation

Rather the access-token to be on the client side where it can be stolen and unexpected costs incurred. Your client library can point to my own server which i can verify the session with my users and me server to use the mapbox access-token, so all calls are then proxied to your servers. You could also provide a proxy library in different server side languages for ease of adoption.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or initializer entry point. Start by locating the library initializer and the existing access-token request path, then clarify the proxy-address API and server-to-server scope with maintainers. Done should include an agreed design for routing calls through a user-controlled server and tests covering the configuration.
