I want to use Glitch as an Image API— but how?

I use superagent to fetch links, e.g. ({ link: “image-link-here”}) but when I use superagent, is says Error: Forbidden. Is it really like this?

Can you show your full logs/error message?

Hmm… Could you try this on your local machine? That could tell us if this is a Glitch error or not.

I think it’s because pinging services are banned, I can’t fetch a simple JSON string.

That might not be the case as this is an outbound command. I created an image proxy similar to this in PHP and had no problems.

I tried doing this on Repl.it (sorry lo), and it works, but I really wanna use Glitch because most of my projects are here.

8

Did you get an error on replit?

No errors. It gave me the data I needed like any other image API.

I suppose you could contact support@glitch.com and ask them to make an acception to the rule for your app. A few similar cases to this have been made such as IFTTT.
