Corsproxy

corsproxy: Open Source Proxy Service for Adding CORS Headerss

An open source proxy service that adds CORS headers to requests, enabling client-side web apps to access APIs from domains without CORS enabled.

What is Corsproxy?

corsproxy is an open source proxy service designed to add CORS headers to requests. This allows client-side web applications, such as those built with JavaScript frameworks, to access APIs served from domains that do not have CORS enabled.

Without CORS headers, web browsers will block JavaScript code from accessing resources on other domains as part of their same-origin security policy. corsproxy acts as a middleman - your client-side code sends requests to corsproxy, which then forwards them to the target API after adding the required Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

As an open source project, corsproxy is free to use and customizable. It can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure to proxy requests for your web apps. Key features include:

• Addition of CORS headers to enable cross-domain requests
• Customizable to allow requests to specified target domains/URLs only
• Lightweight and fast Node.js proxy backend
• Can be deployed to Heroku or other platforms easily

Overall, corsproxy is a useful tool for web developers working with public APIs that have not enabled CORS. Self-hosting it provides more flexibility and control over security policies compared to external proxy services.
