# Proxify
[Proxify](https://proxify.netlify.app/) allows you to use Netlify as a Proxy Server.
Proxify just takes advantage of the fact that Netlify Functions can make fetch requests.
I mostly use this for crawling blocked websites in my web scraping projects.
I felt the need for a proxy server when I was working on [`iaseth/top-100-yc-companies`](https://github.com/iaseth/top-100-yc-companies).
Many of the top websites are blocked in my country for various reasons.
So, I created [Proxify](https://proxify.netlify.app/).
I am using [`readmix`](https://github.com/iaseth/readmix) for generating this README.
You can view the source file [here](https://github.com/iaseth/proxify/blob/master/README.md.rx).

## Getting Started
* Install `node-fetch`:
```
npm install node-fetch
```
* Drop the [proxy.js](https://github.com/iaseth/proxify/blob/master/netlify/functions/proxy.js) script into your `netlify/functions` folder.
* Add the following to your [netlify.toml](https://github.com/iaseth/proxify/blob/master/netlify.toml) file:
```
[functions]
node_bundler = "esbuild"
[[redirects]]
from = "/proxy"
to = "/.netlify/functions/proxy"
status = 200
```
* You can now deploy your website to Netlify. Your proxy server will be ready at `your-app-name.netlify.app/proxy`.
## Using with Python
You can see the full example at [python-example.py](https://github.com/iaseth/proxify/blob/master/python-example.py).
```python
import requests
PROXY_URL = "https://proxify.netlify.app/proxy"
def getURL(pageURL):
data = {"pageURL": pageURL}
response = requests.post(PROXY_URL, json=data)
return response
```
## Using with JavaScript
You can see the full example at [javascript-example.js](https://github.com/iaseth/proxify/blob/master/javascript-example.js).
```javascript
const PROXY_URL = "https://proxify.netlify.app/proxy";
async function getURL (pageURL) {
const data = {
pageURL
};
const config = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
}
const res = await fetch(PROXY_URL, config);
const htmlContent = await res.text();
return htmlContent;
}
```
