Link Header API

healthy 4,706 Subscribers

Parse and build RFC 8288 HTTP Link headers (Web Linking). The parse endpoint turns a Link header into a structured list — each link with its URI, its rel relation(s) and any target attributes (title, type, hreflang, media, anchor) — and also returns a handy rel→uri map, so you can grab the next, prev, first and last URLs for API pagination in a single step. It correctly handles the awkward parts: multiple comma-separated links, commas inside angle-bracketed URIs, quoted parameter values, multiple space-separated rel tokens, and RFC 8187 extended values. The build endpoint assembles a correct Link header from one or more link objects (or a single uri + rel with optional attributes), quoting values only where required. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for paginated REST APIs and clients, hypermedia and HATEOAS, HTTP preload/prefetch hints, feed and alternate-format discovery, proxies and gateways. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This builds and parses the Link header string itself; it does not fetch a URL.

CORS API

Build correct CORS response headers and evaluate preflight requests — without re-reading the spec every time. The headers endpoint turns a simple policy (allowed origins, methods, request headers, whether credentials are allowed, a preflight max-age and any exposed response headers) into the exact set of Access-Control-* headers to return, and it handles the parts people get wrong: you cannot combine a wildcard origin with credentials, so it reflects the specific request origin and adds Vary: Origin instead; it omits the allow-origin header when an origin is not on your list; and it warns when a configuration would not behave as expected. The check endpoint takes an incoming request — its Origin, the (requested) method and the Access-Control-Request-Headers — and tells you whether it would pass CORS, the precise reason if it fails, and the response headers you should send back. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for API gateways and backends, edge and serverless functions, debugging browser CORS errors, and getting a security policy exactly right. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This builds and checks the headers; it does not make a cross-origin request — to inspect a live site's security headers use a security-headers API.

Client IP API

Find the real client IP behind proxies, CDNs and load balancers. The client endpoint takes an X-Forwarded-For list (or an RFC 7239 Forwarded header) together with a count of proxies you trust, and returns the actual client address — stripping the trusted proxies from the right-hand side so that a spoofed left-most value cannot fool you — along with the full ordered hop chain, the left-most and right-most entries and the address family. The parse endpoint decomposes a Forwarded header into its for/by/host/proto hops, or an X-Forwarded-For header into its ordered list of addresses, stripping ports and IPv6 brackets so you get clean IPs. Getting this right matters for security: trusting the wrong entry lets clients spoof their IP, so the trusted-proxy model returns the first address you did not put there yourself. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for reverse proxies and API gateways, rate limiting and abuse prevention, audit logging and analytics, geo and fraud checks, and any backend sitting behind a load balancer. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This parses forwarding headers to find the client IP; to geolocate that IP use an IP-geolocation API.

Content-Disposition API

Parse and build HTTP Content-Disposition headers (RFC 6266, with RFC 5987 filename* encoding). The parse endpoint reads a header into its disposition type (attachment, inline or form-data), its filename — correctly decoding the extended filename*=UTF-8''… form and preferring it over a plain filename exactly as the specification requires — the form-data field name, and any remaining parameters. The build endpoint assembles a correct header from simple fields and, when a filename contains non-ASCII characters (accents, emoji, CJK), automatically emits both an ASCII fallback filename and the percent-encoded filename*, so every browser shows the right download name while older clients still work. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private — no file is ever fetched or stored. Ideal for file-download and upload endpoints, object storage and CDNs, content gateways and proxies, email and multipart handling, and debugging why a download is mis-named. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This builds and parses the header string itself; it does not serve a file.

Cache-Control API

Parse and build HTTP Cache-Control headers (RFC 9111). The parse endpoint turns a Cache-Control header into structured, named directives — public and private, no-store, no-cache, no-transform, max-age and s-maxage, must-revalidate and proxy-revalidate, immutable, stale-while-revalidate, stale-if-error, min-fresh and max-stale — together with a quick summary: whether the response is cacheable, whether it must be revalidated before use, its visibility (public or private) and its max-age in seconds. The build endpoint assembles a correct, canonically-ordered header from simple boolean and numeric fields, validating that the second-based directives are non-negative integers and quoting field-list forms of no-cache and private. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for CDN and edge configuration, caching proxies and reverse proxies, API responses and static-asset tuning, and debugging why a response is (or is not) being cached. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This builds and parses the header string itself; it does not fetch a URL.
