cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com not working (503). What else can I try?

Question

I am trying to send a get request to the Wikipedia API. I am sending the request form a angular frontend so i\'m trying to use the Heroku CORS Anywhere endpoint to avoid CO

Answer 1

You can deploy a CORS Anywhere server to Heroku in literally just 2-3 minutes, with 5 commands:

git clone https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere.git
cd cors-anywhere/
npm install
heroku create
git push heroku master

After running those commands, you’ll end up with your own CORS Anywhere proxy running at, e.g., https://cryptic-headland-94862.herokuapp.com/. So then instead of prefixing your request URL with https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com, prefix it instead with your own proxy’s URL.
