cors-anywhere

cors-anywhere is a php reverse proxy which adds CORS headers to the proxy request.

Use Case

It can be used to access resources from third party websites when it's not possible to enable CORS on target website i.e. when you don't own that website.

Note from author: I am currently using to access Rescue Time's & trak.tv APIs, so I can sync my own data to conjure.so.

Documentation

Install

composer require fakeheal/cors-anywhere

Initialize

<?php

use Fakeheal\CorsAnywhere\Exceptions\CorsAnywhereException;
use Fakeheal\CorsAnywhere\Proxy;

// ...

try {
    $server = new Proxy([
        // allowed hosts to proxy to
        'rescuetime.com',
        'google.com'
    ], [
        // allowed headers
        'Content-Type',
        'Accepts'    
    ]);

    // call handle that... handles everything
    $server->handle();
} catch (CorsAnywhereException $e) {
    die($e->getMessage()); // or die trying
}

How to use

Once setup, you must pass a url parameter, for example if your Cors URL is the following: http://127.0.0.1:2000 Then you'd do the below, the url being the proxied site you want to use.

http://127.0.0.1:2000/?url=https://google.com
