Kintone Proxy

Kintone Proxy - `kintone.proxy()`

This API makes requests to external APIs. CORS errors can be avoided by using this API.

Function

kintone.proxy(url, method, headers, data, callback, errback)

Parameters

PARAMETER	VALUE	REQUIRED	DESCRIPTION
url	String	Yes	The request URL.
method	String	Yes	The HTTP method. Specify one of the following: GET / POST / PUT / DELETE.
headers	Object	Yes	Specify the request header as an object. To ignore this parameter, input `{}`. Sample: `{ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }`
data	Object or String	Yes	The data that will be sent in the request.To ignore this parameter, input `{}`. Applied only for POST/PUT requests. Ignored for GET/DELETE requests. For GET/DELETE requests, set the parameter on the QueryString of the URL instead.
callback	Function	Optional	The callback function that will run once the request to the other end of the proxy has finished. It will receive the response body (string), the status code (number) and the response header (object) as parameters from the external API. If ignored, a kintone.Promise object will be returned that can be fulfilled with an array containing a Response body (string), Status code (number) and Response header (object).
errback	Function	Optional	The callback function that will run when the API request to the other end of the proxy fails. It will receive the response body (string) as the parameter from the external API. If the callback is ignored, a kintone.Promise object will be returned that can be fulfilled with the Response body (string) from the proxy API.

Response

A kintone.Promise object will be returned if the callback parameter is ignored. Otherwise, there will be no response.

Notes

Any kind of Content-type can be used.
Specifying a non-existent url will return an error status code of 503 (DNS Cache Missing).
If IP Address restrictions are enabled on the origin subdomain, the kintone.com IP Address must be allowed access, if using kintone.proxy() on an App within a different subdomain. A list of IP Addresses used by Kintone can be found on the Domains and IP Addresses Used by Kintone Help site. Please note that this will allow any Kintone domain to bypass IP address restrictions, and therefore is not recommended from a security standpoint.
When using Kintone REST API on your own Kintone domain, use the Kintone REST API Request instead of the kintone.proxy() API.
