So, I've tried really hard finding an answer to this, but I can't.

Can someone please explain to me how to make a CORS proxy for an API? I am using api.scratch.mit.edu, and I want to use their format but for my own website, maybe scratchapi.com or whatever. So how can I copy each page on api.scratch.mit.edu onto scratchapi.com?

Basically, I want to make a CORS proxy so that scratchapi.com/users/Aquarial will be the same as api.scratch.mit.edu/users/Aquarial. But not just for that one page, for all of the pages on the Scratch API (api.scratch.mit.edu).

What I have tried:

I've tried CORS-Anywhere and things like that, but they can take a while to update and the data updates a lot.

Nobody here is going to help you steal somebody else's site.

I don't think you know what a CORS proxy is . . . that's not my intention.

"So how can I copy each page on api.scratch.mit.edu onto scratchapi.com?"

How else are we supposed to interpret that requirement? You want every page from someone else's site to be shown as part of your site.

Do you know what a CORS proxy is?

I know what a CORS proxy is.

I also know what it's called when you try to copy someone else's site and display it as your own.

Your question isn't about calling a third-party API from your own pages. It's about displaying the content of a third-party site within your own.

I'm really sorry, that is not what I meant. I'm just asking how to bypass CORS. I would only use the data for a website I coded.
