We recommend the https-proxy-agent library for carrying out HTTP operations from Node.js with QuotaGuard.

Installation

When you sign up with QuotaGuard, you will be provided with a
unique username and password and a connection string that you can use
when configuring your proxy service in your application, for example:

http://username:[email protected]:9293

All requests that you make via this proxy will appear to the destination
server to originate from one of the two static IPs you will be assigned
when you sign up.

We recommend you store the connection string in an environment variable
QUOTAGUARD\_URL. If you have signed up via the add-ons platform on
Heroku or cloudControl this variable will be automatically set in your
production environment.

Integration

QuotaGuard will work with the standard http library, but we recommend
using the https-proxy-agent library for ease of
use.

var HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
var request = require('request');
var proxy = process.env.QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL;
var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy);
request({
  uri: "https://example.com/api",
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
  },
  agent: agent,
  timeout: 10000,
  followRedirect: true,
  maxRedirects: 10,
  body: "name=john"
}, function(error, response, body) {
     console.log("Error" + error);
     console.log("Response: " + response);
     console.log("Body: " + body);
});
