Reef Proxy is a free CORS proxy that provides multiple methods for fetching and scraping web resources. This page documents all available endpoints and how to use them.
Reef Proxy is a free service. Running and maintaining the proxy requires ongoing server costs. If you find it useful, please consider supporting us with a donation.
Reef Proxy temporarily stores your IP address solely for rate limiting. IP addresses are not permanently stored or shared.
Our proxy also implements usage caps to maintain our service per client:
- Standard Requests: 50 GET or POST requests per hour
- Scrape Endpoint: 10 scraping requests per hour
- Payload Size Cap: Requests larger than 30MB are automatically aborted
/get- Performs a GET request to the target URL./post- Performs a POST request to the target URL./scrape- Loads and returns the rendered HTML of a webpage.
Every request must include the target URL using one of the following methods:
Query parameter: ?url=https://example.com
Request header: "x-target-url": https://example.com
Sends a standard HTTP GET request to the specified URL and returns the response. Additional query parameters are forwarded to the target URL.
Sends an HTTP POST request to the specified URL. Request headers and the request body are forwarded to the target whenever possible.
Opens the requested webpage in a browser and returns the rendered HTML after waiting for the page to load.
Use the optional wait query parameter to specify how many seconds to wait before the page is scraped.
/scrape?url=https://example.com&wait=5
The wait value must be between 0 and 10 seconds. If omitted, Reef Proxy uses the default wait time.
