Used my own backend experience to take that off their plate. It's a proxy that injects your credentials server-side so your keys never hit the browser. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p> <div class="crayons-card c-embed text-styles text-styles--secondary"> <div class="c-embed__content"> <div class="c-embed__cover"> <a href="https://bounce.tosses.dev/" class="c-link align-middle" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img alt="" src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fbounce.tosses.dev%2Fog-image.png" height="" class="m-0" width=""> </a> </div> <div class="c-embed__body"> <h2 class="fs-xl lh-tight"> <a href="https://bounce.tosses.dev/" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link"> Bounce by Tosses - API Proxy </a> </h2> <p class="truncate-at-3"> Secure API calls, straight from the frontend.
