Good day to all!

Faced such a problem: we use the API of one service, got blacklisted due to frequent calls to it (or something adjacent - the answer was never received).

Blocked IP address.

Is there a service to which you can send the address (url) and the request, he would send the request to the specified address, get an answer and return the answer to me? A kind of mediator.

Thank you in advance!

And just changing the ip of the car is not an option? That would be the simplest solution. In any case, if a certain intermediary (your or third-party) starts to send similar requests, then he can also be added to the black list.

First of all, you need to know the original cause of the blocking and try to eliminate it. After that, change the ip or agree to unlock. Through some kind of intermediary, firstly, the requests will go longer, and secondly, you will give someone the data that will pass through them. In addition, you also need to find this very "mediator" or raise it yourself on another machine.

  • About these services I do not know. Meaning in them? You can't earn money on it, because No one in their right mind will voluntarily give someone traffic with personal data of users. Faster would be to raise on the other machine the "listener" of incoming requests, which will make requests for the service you need, and return the result. On security, with this approach, we can not speak. She simply does not. As with intermediaries. Or use VPN, for example - Maxim

And what if you send from a dynamic address? If this does not work, write a test server that will emulate the answer, that's all.

In theory, any public API, it provides for such requests here, so it provides a test gateway, or does not block it at all. You are not the only one, believe me)
