It seems as though https://rprxy.xyz is not working anymore as I get an error when trying to connect to the web server. I don’t know of any public proxy servers up but it’s relatively easy to make a custom proxy and hosting the proxy web server on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or by using a free alternative for hosting such as Heroku or Glitch although they may not necessarily be available 24/7
Rprxy is open-sourced on GitHub, so you are already provided with the code needed to make a proxy server for all API endpoints
ahhhh ok thanks, i might try that if i am able to
I’ve cloned the repository to a Deta Micro, so https://rprxy.deta.dev can now be used. YMMV.
Due to it’s nature, I removed support for making the request with subdomains, so the new request would be: https://rprxy.deta.dev/games/v1/games?universeIds=245662005
(For those that already used path syntax, this domain is backwards compatible to https://rprxy.deta.dev/proxy/games/v1/games?universeIds=245662005)
As the advice always has been, hosting your own is always better than a free route since you’ll be fighting everyone else who is using it for bandwidth and ratelimits.

The service has sadly been shutdown due to hosting issues, as stated on the website.
