Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

MaskAPI

MasterHead

MaskAPI is a lightweight and secure Node.js package to register and proxy APIs via masked URLs, keeping your original API hidden and secure.
It is built with Node.js, TypeScript, and Axios, and works seamlessly with any backend.


🚀 Features

  • Register any API endpoint and get a masked URL.
  • Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and other HTTP methods.
  • Optionally send headers and request body.
  • Easy to use with static methods, no need to instantiate the class.

📦 Installation

npm install maskapi-client

or

yarn add maskapi-client

⚡ Usage


import  MaskAPIClient  from "maskapi-client";

  // Register an API to get a masked URL
  const response = await MaskAPIClient.registerAPI({
      method: "GET",
      url: "https://secureapi.com",
    });
  console.log("Masked URL:", response);

  // You can now call the masked URL in your application

📄 API

MaskAPIClient.registerAPI(method, url, body?, headers?)

| Parameter | Type                | Description                        |
| --------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `method`  | `string`            | HTTP method (`GET`, `POST`, etc.)  |
| `url`     | `string`            | Original API URL to mask           |
| `body`    | `any` (optional)    | Request body for POST/PUT requests |
| `headers` | `object` (optional) | Headers to send with the request   |

🛠 Requirements

Node.js >= 18

npm >= 9 (or yarn)

📌 Notes

Masked URLs are generated by your proxy server. This package does not require instantiation; all methods are static. Use the masked URL to safely call your API without exposing the original endpoint.

If you want, I can also add a small diagram and workflow illustration showing how MaskAPI registers an API, returns a masked URL, and proxies requests. This makes the README even more beginner-friendly.

Do you want me to add that?
