API

Corsfix provides several methods to proxy your requests, giving you flexibility in how you use with the CORS Proxy.

A simple way to use the proxy is by inserting the target URL as query string:

Terminal window
https://proxy.corsfix.com/?https://api.example.com/data
# or
https://proxy.corsfix.com/?api.example.com/data
fetch("https://proxy.corsfix.com/?https://api.example.com/data")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data));

Method 2: Target URL in url Query Parameter

Section titled “Method 2: Target URL in url Query Parameter”

You can also use the url query parameter to specify your target:

Terminal window
https://proxy.corsfix.com/?url=https://api.example.com/data
# or
https://proxy.corsfix.com/?url=api.example.com/data
fetch("https://proxy.corsfix.com/?url=https://api.example.com/data")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data));

If you prefer the shortest URL possible, you can insert the target URL directly to the path:

Terminal window
https://proxy.corsfix.com/https://api.example.com/data
# or
https://proxy.corsfix.com/api.example.com/data
fetch("https://proxy.corsfix.com/https://api.example.com/data")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data));

Corsfix uses the Origin header to validate if your application is authorized to use the CORS proxy. This header is automatically set when sending request from the browser, such as when using Fetch, Axios, or etc.

The proxy automatically adds the following CORS header to the responses:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: <your-request-origin>
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: *

When a request takes longer than 20 seconds to complete, the proxy will return a 504 Gateway Timeout response. This status code indicates that the server did not receive a timely response from the target server.

The maximum payload size for a request is 5MB. If your request exceeds this limit, the proxy will return a 413 Payload Too Large response. This status code indicates that the request is larger than the allowed size.
