# python-cors-proxy
A simple CORS proxy in Python/Django to fetch content from remote sites without a CORS policy.
## Run a web server locally
1. [Install Python 3](https://developerhowto.com/2018/10/31/install-python-and-web-development-tools/)
2. Run the package installation
`pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`
(`python3 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt` if your default is python2)
3. Start the local web server
`python manage.py runserver`
(`python3 manage.py runserver` if your default is python2)
4. You application will be served at http://localhost:8000/
You can modify the local port (current, `8000`) running the server with an extra parameter:
`python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:LOCALPORT`
(`python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:LOCALPORT` if your default is python2)
## Run locally using Docker
1. Install Docker Desktop
2. Run `docker-compose up` from the application folder (`docker-compose up -d` to leave it in the foreground and `docker-compose stop` to stop it)
3. You application will be served at http://localhost:8000/
You can modify the local port (current, `8000`) changing `docker-compose.yml`
```yml
ports:
- 'LOCALPORT:8000'
```
## Usage
You can request any URL using:
`http://your.server/?url=https://your.url/request/`
Once started your server, try for example, fetching [http://ip-api.com/json/8.8.8.8](http://ip-api.com/json/8.8.8.8):
`http://localhost:8000/?url=http://ip-api.com/json/8.8.8.8`
Sample result:
```json
{"as":"AS15169 Google LLC","city":"Mountain View","country":"United States","countryCode":"US","isp":"Level 3 Communications","lat":37.4229,"lon":-122.085,"org":"Google Inc.","query":"8.8.8.8","region":"CA","regionName":"California","status":"success","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles","zip":"94043"}
```
## Deployment to Heroku
### Install Heroku client
This command line interface (CLI) helps to do some tasks related to Heroku.
You can install this tool following [the official guide](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli#download-and-install).
The main steps are:
1.- For MacOS, install Homebrew and run
`brew install heroku/brew/heroku`
2.- In Ubuntu/Debian based systems, install SnapCraftand run
`sudo snap install --classic heroku`
3.- For windows, download and execute the installer.
### Create a Heroku Account
Create an account in Heroku.com to login (https://signup.heroku.com/)
### Login into Heroku
You need an accout in Heroku.com to login.
`heroku login [--interactive]`
### Register your application in Heroku
1. Manual registration:
1. After registation, go to https://dashboard.heroku.com/
2. Create a new application using the button [Add] (https://dashboard.heroku.com/new-app)
2. Using Heroku CLI:
1. Run in your project:
`heroku apps:create your-app-name`
3. Edit `ALLOWED_HOSTS` in `corsproxy/settings.py`:
```python
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [
'localhost',
'your-app-name.herokuapp.com'
]
```
### Asociate your repository with Heroku
Optionally, register your application as a python/django project:
`heroku buildpacks:set heroku/python`
Also, if you registered the applciation **using the web dashboard**, run this command, using the **app name** you previously registered in Heroku
`heroku git:remote -a your-app-name`
### Deploy your application
`git push heroku master`
Now your application is published at `http://your-app-name.herokuapp.com/`
