Overview

Foreq, to put it simply is simple forward proxy. Built with the sole aim to remove the pain out of provisioning servers for simple third-party integrations.

Start building your tools hassle free with 0 server stress setup.

For example, engineers can spend a fraction of the time they’d use setting up services like Mailtrap, Mailgun, SendGrid, ChatGPT on a server by quickly using foreq to manage and integrate these integrations.

How does it work

foreq-overview

Most 3rd party APIs besides having language-specific client libraries will expost a REST API that can be used to access resources.

The endpoints(URLs) on the API can be setup on Foreq, combined with some necessary configurations like custom headers, and request body. Foreq then provides an endpoint which can be used on your clients to easily access the endpoint configured on Foreq.

Hitting the provided endpoint forwards your request configuration and returns the response to clients.

NOTE: Sometimes these resources are sometimes protected by API keys, luckily even this sceneario can be seamlessly handled with foreq.
