Hey there. I’m building a workflow but the endpoint I’m hitting has API restriction disallowing any US-based IP’s from interacting with it. Is there any way to change the IP the request is coming from to another region?
No, today all traffic would originate from the USA. Are you able to use an HTTP proxy outside the US?
Open to any solutions but I’m a beginner dev - any resources for how I might be able to do this?
Do you work with a team that might have something set up, or have access to a cloud like AWS? It can take some work to configure a proxy but it is the most secure solution.
I’m not familiar with the latest SaaS proxy solutions but some services that host proxies in different regions do exist. If you search for “Hosted HTTP proxies” or “hosted Squid proxies” (Squid is a common open source proxy), you may be able to find something that works.
Once you have a proxy, you can make requests to the API through the proxy using a technique like https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs/http-requests/#use-an-http-proxy-to-proxy-requests-through-another-host
Thanks for your help Dylan!
