cors-anywhere VS libcurl

I'm currently looking at https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere/ which I'm 99% sure has the potential to solve my problem. I say that as I tested it via https://robwu.nl/cors-anywhere.html and it fetched data from the API host I am targeting just fine.

For dev purposes, I recommend using CORS-Anywhere (https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere). This will start up a proxy server that will forward browser requests.

Hello, I am using cors-anywhere (https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere) and have it deployed to heroku. However, the endpoint I am using requires a static IP. I have deployed Fixie (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/fixie) on my heroku application but I'm having trouble configuring it to work.

Have a look at this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors-anywhere

Set up a proxy server and host it somewhere (fly.io, railway, heroku). Just clone this repo and deploy it anywhere you want. https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere

You could always proxy to it and load the live site if you want haha. Cors is easy to bypass this way https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere

Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:

Made a PR to curl in line with the above: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13338

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

From the GitHub Issue itself, the maintainer did end up creating a PR to fix a related issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/12983

Also, the bot filed another issue despite the complaints.

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
