This is a API Proxy Server built with nodejs-express (typescript) for

• Hide API Key (Proxy)
• Rate Limiting
• Caching

This example uses the OpenWeather API but the concept can be adopted for any project.

npm install

npm run dev

npm run watch-css

npm run build

npm run build-css

Rename .env.example to .env and edit the values

• API_BASE_URL = https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather
• API_KEY_NAME = "appid"
• API_KEY_VALUE = (Your API Key)

Go to the OpenWeather API site and modify the links as you need.

• Add new routes as your need
• Change rate limiting and caching to your desired values

And you are good to go.
