Writing a Proxy Server

Finally!
NodeJS is my jam! :slight_smile:
Assuming you are using Express (or if you are using Restify, etc, let me know) you can simply setup a proxy server w/ routes and use an HTTP client (Axios is my favorite :slight_smile: )

Axios: GitHub - axios/axios: Promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js

Sample setup:

const express = require('express')
const app = express()

app.post('/proxy', function (req, res) {
    const httpInstance = axios.create({
        headers: {'AuthCode': 'YourSecretCode'}
    });
    httpInstance.get('yoursupersecreturl').then(function (response) {
        // handle success or error. Implement rest of your logic here :)
        console.log(response);
        //res.send(response) //do whatever you want
    })
})

Then setup the rest of the server logic, this way all you have to do is send a POST request to /proxy and you won’t need to pass any sensitive info
