TL;DR
Corsfix is a dead-simple CORS proxy — just prepend https://corsfix.com/?url= to any URL and it will fetch the resource for you with proper CORS headers, eliminating those frustrating browser cross-origin errors. Perfect for front-end developers who need to consume third-party APIs that don't set Access-Control-Allow-Origin. No signup, no API key, no configuration.
Quick start: https://corsfix.com/?url=https://example.com
No API key needed — just make a request!
https://corsfix.com/?url=https://example.com
How to Use This API
1. Fetch Any URL Without CORS Errors
Pass your target URL as the url query parameter:
https://corsfix.com/?url=https://api.example.com/data
Corsfix fetches the resource server-side and returns it with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * so your browser accepts it.
2. JavaScript — Vanilla Fetch via Proxy
const targetUrl = 'https://api.github.com/repos/opencode-ai/opencode';
const proxyUrl = `https://corsfix.com/?url=${encodeURIComponent(targetUrl)}`;
fetch(proxyUrl)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log('Repo:', data.full_name))
.catch(err => console.error('Fetch failed:', err));
3. Python — Same Pattern, No Proxy Needed
import requests
# Python requests don't have CORS, so use the target URL directly
resp = requests.get('https://api.github.com/repos/opencode-ai/opencode')
print(resp.json()['full_name'])
# But if you want to use Corsfix anyway:
proxy = requests.get('https://corsfix.com/', params={
'url': 'https://api.github.com/repos/opencode-ai/opencode'
})
print(proxy.json()['full_name'])
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CORS and why would I need a proxy?
- Browsers block JavaScript fetch requests to domains that don't explicitly allow cross-origin access via
Access-Control-Allow-Originheaders. Corsfix acts as a middleman that adds this header to the response. - Do I need an API key for Corsfix?
- No. Corsfix is completely free and requires no authentication or registration.
- Are there request size limits?
- There are no published limits, but very large responses (multi-megabyte files) may time out or be rejected. Corsfix is designed for typical API responses.
- Can Corsfix fetch HTTPS URLs?
- Yes, Corsfix supports both HTTP and HTTPS targets. Just pass the full URL including the protocol.
- Is there a rate limit?
- No published rate limits. However, as a free service, it's intended for development and low-volume usage rather than production-scale traffic.
- Does Corsfix cache responses?
- No — each request is fetched fresh. If you need caching, implement it on your end using localStorage or a service worker.
