    You can add the cors middleware package to your application to help you send the correct CORS response headers from your API endpoints. By default, the headers it sends will allow any web page to make requests to your API, so make sure you check out the configuration options, and at the very least set the origin option so that you are restricting which web pages are able to call your API (unless you’re running an API for public use, in which case this won’t be an issue).

    Yes, unfortunately if the "foreign" sources don't support CORS, you'd have to use a CORS proxy... If you want to self-host, there's one at https://github.com/Zibri/cloudflare-cors-anywhere that can be deployed to CloudFlare Workers (the code is a bit messy though).

    GitHub supports CORS for raw data for example, that's why I put it in the sample queries.

    You could probably add cloudflare workers as an option. There's an example CORS friendly proxy here: https://github.com/Zibri/cloudflare-cors-anywhere

    Guessing normal use would fit in their free plan.

    You should be able to do this with a third party service such as https://fixtur.es/en/team/philadelphia-union

    I route my remote calendars through Cloudflare workers for a modicum of privacy from random third party services. It's as simple as running a basic open source relay: https://github.com/Zibri/cloudflare-cors-anywhere

  • Question about HTTPS requests

    Otherwise, if it is on a server, when you make the request, add a header like “Origin”: “https://(sitename).com/“ where sitename would be the URL (not yours, in this case Pipedream’s) to avoid CORS. If worse comes to worse though, you could make your own proxy using Cloudflare Workers. There’s also Cloudflare CORS-Anywhere and CORSFlare
