API Caching

Faster APIs.
Lower Bills. Zero Infra.

CORSPROXY caches API responses at 330+ edge locations worldwide. Slow third-party APIs become instant. Rate limits stop being a problem. API costs drop.

How it works

Cache in Three Steps

01

Prefix the URL

Replace your API URL with the CORSPROXY prefix. No code changes beyond the URL string.

02

First Request Fetches

CORSPROXY fetches from the origin API and caches the response at your nearest edge location.

03

All Subsequent Requests are Instant

Cache hits return in under 10ms from the nearest edge — without touching the origin API.

API Reference

Cache Control

Eligible GET and HEAD responses use a one-hour default. Production plans can override the duration per request with the ttl parameter.

ttl=300

Cache for 5 minutes (300 seconds). Custom TTLs require a Production plan and API key.

ttl=3600

Cache for 1 hour. Good for rarely-changing data like exchange rates or reference data.

(no ttl parameter)

Use CORSPROXY's default one-hour cache duration for eligible requests.

1 origin call → ∞ users

Rate Limit Protection

Share a single cached response across thousands of users without hitting API rate limits.

100× faster on cache hit

Faster Dashboards

Turn a 1-second API call into a 10ms cache hit. Your dashboards load before users notice.

Up to 99% fewer origin calls

Cut API Costs

Reduce repeated origin work for crypto prices, weather, exchange rates, and other shared data.

330+ PoPs worldwide

Global Performance

Responses cached at the edge closest to each user. Lower latency worldwide — without a CDN setup.

TTL-controlled freshness

Predictable Freshness

Choose a TTL that balances response speed with how often your application needs refreshed data.

Custom TTL per endpoint

Cryptocurrency & Finance

Cache volatile data like token prices or FX rates with short TTLs. Get fresh-enough data without hammering the API.

Default Caching No cache params
// Default caching — no cache parameters needed.
// CORSPROXY caches responses automatically at the edge.
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  url: 'https://api.coinmarketcap.com/data-api/v3/cryptocurrency/listing',
});

const res = await fetch(`https://corsproxy.io/?${params}`);
const data = await res.json();
Custom TTL (5 min) ttl parameter
// Custom TTL: cache for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  url: 'https://api.example.com/prices',
  ttl: '300',
});

const res = await fetch(`https://corsproxy.io/?${params}`);
const data = await res.json();
Custom TTL (1 hour) ttl parameter
// Custom TTL: cache for 1 hour (3600 seconds)
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  url: 'https://api.example.com/reference-data',
  ttl: '3600',
});

const res = await fetch(`https://corsproxy.io/?${params}`);
const data = await res.json();

No infra needed

Faster APIs. Lower costs. Today.

No Redis. No Varnish. No CDN config. Just prefix your API URL and responses are cached globally.
