Manages tokens and secrets, and proxies network requests. Works with Petfinder API v2.

To use this proxy to support a front-end app, you should run your own copy of it - You can do this for free on Heroku.

1. Create a Heroku account (or log in if you have one already).
2. Click the Deploy button above.
3. Fill in the App Name - the proxy will be deployed to http://your-app-name-here.herokuapp.com
4. Fill in your Petfinder clientSecret.
5. Click Deploy App.

Note: This proxy only supports GET requests.

Send your request to the /petfinder endpoint (e.g. http://your-app-name-here.herokuapp.com/petfinder) with the following query params:

• clientId (required): your API key (provided by Petfinder)
• reqUrl (required): the Petfinder API endpoint URL you want to request data from
• params (optional): query params for your Petfinder API call (an object, formatted as a JSON string) - e.g. {"page": 2}
• proxyHeaders (optional): any headers you need to send along with your Petfinder API call (an object, formatted as a JSON string) - e.g. {"My-Custom-Header": "headerValueHere"}

fetch(
  'http://your-app-name-here.herokuapp.com/petfinder?reqUrl=https://api.petfinder.com/v2/animals&params={"page": 2}&clientId=yourapikeyhere'
)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(petData => console.log(petData));

or, with axios:

axios({
  method: 'GET',
  url: 'http://your-app-name-here.herokuapp.com/petfinder',
  params: {
    reqUrl: 'https://api.petfinder.com/v2/animals',
    params: {
      page: 2,
    },
    clientId: 'yourapikeyhere',
  },
}).then(res => console.log(res.data));

• Install Docker
• yarn to install JavaScript dependencies
• Create a file named .env in the project's root directory with the following environment variables:

CLIENT_SECRET=yourClientSecretHere
REDIS_URL=redis:6379

• docker-compose up from the project's root directory to start the app (listens on port 4000 by default)
