# Getting requests to the local network

UI Bakery requests go through a data source Docker container located on its own network, and the requests to certain local APIs outside of the network cannot be executed, since there's nothing available inside the container for that API.\
\
To make those requests, you can edit the `docker-compose.yml` file and add/modify the settings for the data source container (and, as a precaution, also for the bakery-back container) by specifying extra\_hosts there.\
\
In UI Bakery, you should use the specified `extra_host` instead of `localhost` or `192.168....` when making requests.

**Example:**

```docker
extra_hosts:
    - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway" 
```

\
<http://host.docker.internal/>\
\
