About CORS Proxy

CORS Proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary to work around CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) restrictions. It exposes a single POST route at the root path, accepting a body parameter, urlToGet, which specifies the URL the proxy should fetch on the client's behalf.

The project is hosted on GitHub under the MIT license. It is intended for developers who need to bypass CORS errors when making requests to external URLs from client-side code.

Key features

  • Proxies GET requests through a POST endpoint to bypass CORS errors
  • Simple single-route API (POST /) accepting a urlToGet body parameter
  • MIT licensed open-source code
