Residential Proxy SDK for Cloudflare Workers
A TypeScript SDK that makes it easy to use residential proxy functionality from Cloudflare Workers. This SDK handles proxy configuration and automatic header setup for proxying requests through a residential proxy-enabled Lambda function.
Features
- 🌐 Residential IP Support: Route requests through residential proxy networks
- 🚀 Cloudflare Worker Compatible: Built specifically for Cloudflare Workers
- 📦 TypeScript First: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions
- ⚡ Easy to Use: Simple API with convenient helper methods
- 🔧 Flexible: Support for all HTTP methods and custom headers
- 🔄 Stable Mode: Disables compression for stable proxy connections
Installation
npm install @relayer-ws/residential-proxy-sdk
Quick Start
Using the Fetch API (Recommended)
The easiest way to use the SDK is with the fetch-like API:
import { createResidentialFetch } from '@relayer-ws/residential-proxy-sdk';
// Create a residential proxy fetch function
const residentialFetch = createResidentialFetch({
residentialProxyUrl: 'http://proxy.example.com:8080' // Optional
});
// Use it just like the native fetch API
const response = await residentialFetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer your-token',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello World' })
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
Using the Client Class
import { ResidentialProxyClient } from '@relayer-ws/residential-proxy-sdk';
// Create a proxy client with default proxy URL (https://gw.relayer.ws/residential)
const proxy = new ResidentialProxyClient({});
// Or with custom proxy URL and residential proxy
const proxy = new ResidentialProxyClient({
proxyUrl: 'https://your-lambda-url.amazonaws.com',
residentialProxyUrl: 'http://proxy.example.com:8080'
});
// Make a proxied request
const response = await proxy.get('https://api.example.com/data', {
'Authorization': 'Bearer your-token'
});
console.log(response.status); // 200
console.log(response.body); // Response data
Using Environment Variables
import { createResidentialFetch } from '@relayer-ws/residential-proxy-sdk';
// In your Cloudflare Worker
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
// Create residential proxy fetch from environment variables
const residentialFetch = createResidentialFetch({
proxyUrl: env.RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_URL, // Optional - defaults to https://gw.relayer.ws/residential
residentialProxyUrl: env.RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_PROXY_URL, // Optional
timeout: env.RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_TIMEOUT ? parseInt(env.RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_TIMEOUT, 10) : undefined,
userAgent: env.RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_USER_AGENT
});
// Use it just like fetch
const response = await residentialFetch('https://api.example.com/webhook', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello World' })
});
return response;
}
};
API Reference
createResidentialFetch
Creates a residential proxy fetch function that works exactly like the native fetch API.
function createResidentialFetch(config: ResidentialProxyConfig): (input: RequestInfo | URL, init?: RequestInit) => Promise<Response>
Parameters:
config: Configuration object (same as ResidentialProxyClient)
Returns: A fetch-like function that can be used exactly like the native fetch API.
Example:
const residentialFetch = createResidentialFetch({
residentialProxyUrl: 'http://proxy.example.com:8080'
});
// Use exactly like fetch
const response = await residentialFetch('https://api.example.com/data', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ data: 'value' })
});
const result = await response.json();
ResidentialProxyClient
The main client class for making residential proxy requests.
Constructor
new ResidentialProxyClient(config: ResidentialProxyConfig)
Configuration
interface ResidentialProxyConfig {
/** The URL of the residential proxy Lambda function (default: https://gw.relayer.ws/residential) */
proxyUrl?: string;
/** Optional residential proxy URL to use for the actual proxy connection */
residentialProxyUrl?: string;
/** Optional timeout for requests (default: 30000ms) */
timeout?: number;
/** Optional user agent string */
userAgent?: string;
}
Methods
request(options: ProxyRequestOptions): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a custom proxied request.
const response = await proxy.request({
targetUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ data: 'value' }),
timeout: 10000
});
get(targetUrl: string, headers?: Record<string, string>): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a GET request.
const response = await proxy.get('https://api.example.com/users');
post(targetUrl: string, body?: string | ArrayBuffer | ReadableStream, headers?: Record<string, string>): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a POST request.
const response = await proxy.post(
'https://api.example.com/users',
JSON.stringify({ name: 'John Doe' }),
{ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
);
put(targetUrl: string, body?: string | ArrayBuffer | ReadableStream, headers?: Record<string, string>): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a PUT request.
delete(targetUrl: string, headers?: Record<string, string>): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a DELETE request.
patch(targetUrl: string, body?: string | ArrayBuffer | ReadableStream, headers?: Record<string, string>): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a PATCH request.
head(targetUrl: string, headers?: Record<string, string>): Promise<ProxyResponse>
Make a HEAD request.
Response Format
interface ProxyResponse {
/** HTTP status code */
status: number;
/** HTTP status text */
statusText: string;
/** Response headers */
headers: Record<string, string>;
/** Response body */
body: string;
/** Whether the response body is base64 encoded */
isBase64Encoded: boolean;
}
Cloudflare Worker Example
Here's a complete example of using the SDK in a Cloudflare Worker:
import { createResidentialProxyClientFromEnv } from '@relayer-ws/residential-proxy-sdk';
interface Env {
RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_URL?: string; // Optional - defaults to https://gw.relayer.ws/residential
RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_PROXY_URL?: string; // Optional - residential proxy URL
RESIDENTIAL_PROXY_TIMEOUT?: string;
}
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
try {
// Create proxy client from environment variables
const proxy = createResidentialProxyClientFromEnv(env);
// Parse the incoming request
const url = new URL(request.url);
const targetUrl = url.searchParams.get('target');
if (!targetUrl) {
return new Response('Missing target parameter', { status: 400 });
}
// Forward the request through the residential proxy
const response = await proxy.request({
targetUrl,
method: request.method,
headers: Object.fromEntries(request.headers.entries()),
body: request.body
});
// Return the proxied response
return new Response(response.body, {
status: response.status,
statusText: response.statusText,
headers: response.headers
});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Proxy error:', error);
return new Response('Internal Server Error', { status: 500 });
}
}
};
Error Handling
The SDK provides comprehensive error handling:
try {
const response = await proxy.get('https://api.example.com');
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes('timeout')) {
console.error('Request timed out');
} else if (error.message.includes('Invalid targetUrl')) {
console.error('Invalid URL provided');
} else {
console.error('Request failed:', error.message);
}
}
Security Considerations
- HTTPS Only: Always use HTTPS URLs for both the proxy and target endpoints
- Proxy Configuration: Configure your residential proxy URLs securely
- Header Filtering: Sensitive headers like
X-Target-UrlandX-Proxy-Urlare automatically handled by the proxy - Stable Mode: The proxy automatically disables compression for stable connections
Browser Testing
You can test the SDK functionality in your browser using the included test page:
# Start the test server
npm run test:browser
# Or from the root directory
yarn test:residential
This will open a browser test page at http://localhost:3002 where you can:
- Configure the SDK settings
- Test different HTTP methods
- See simulated responses with residential IP addresses
- Experiment with web scraping and IP checking
- Test the API before implementing in your Cloudflare Worker
