Render
Render is a modern cloud platform for hosting web applications. When building static sites on Render, you may encounter CORS errors when calling external APIs directly from your frontend code since many APIs only accept requests from server environments.
Corsfix eliminates these errors by providing a secure proxy service that allows your Render-hosted static site to communicate with any API without CORS restrictions.
Getting Started
Section titled “Getting Started”1. Deploy Your Static Site to Render
Section titled “1. Deploy Your Static Site to Render”Start by deploying your static site to Render using their deployment process. Once deployment is complete, you can find your live application URL in the Render dashboard under your service details.
Find your live application URL in the Render service dashboard
Save this URL as you’ll need it for configuring Corsfix in the next step.
2. Configure Your Application in Corsfix
Section titled “2. Configure Your Application in Corsfix”Navigate to the Corsfix application dashboard and add your Render deployment URL as an allowed origin for API requests.
Add your Render application URL to the Corsfix dashboard
After adding your domain as an allowed origin, your API requests through Corsfix will work correctly in your deployed static site.
3. Test Your API Integration
Section titled “3. Test Your API Integration”With the configuration complete, visit your live Render application and test your API functionality. Your requests should now pass through the Corsfix proxy without any CORS-related issues.
API requests now work seamlessly without CORS errors
Check your browser’s developer tools to confirm that CORS errors are eliminated and your API calls are executing successfully.
Custom Domains
Section titled “Custom Domains”If you’ve configured a custom domain for your Render static site, make sure to add your custom domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com) to the allowed origins in the Corsfix dashboard instead of the default Render-generated URL.
