Image Proxy

Technical details regarding the usage of the image proxy function for the weebcentral provider can be found below. This endpoint is used to bypass CORS and hotlink protection when loading manga images. Example code is provided for both JavaScript and Python, along with a response schema.

Route Schema (URL)

https://api.consumet.org/manga/weebcentral/proxy?url={url}

Query Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required?	Default
url	string	The image URL to proxy (URL encoded if needed)	Yes

Request Samples

import axios from "axios";
 
// Using an example image URL from chapter pages.
const imageUrl = "https://example.weebcentral.com/images/chapter1/page1.jpg";
const proxyUrl = `https://api.consumet.org/manga/weebcentral/proxy?url=${encodeURIComponent(imageUrl)}`;
 
// For displaying in HTML
const img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = proxyUrl;
document.body.appendChild(img);
 
// Or fetching as blob
const fetchImage = async () => {
    try {
        const response = await axios.get(proxyUrl, {
            responseType: 'blob'
        });
        return response.data;
    } catch (err) {
        throw new Error(err.message);
    }
};

Usage with Chapter Pages

import axios from "axios";
 
// First, get chapter pages
const chapterUrl = "https://api.consumet.org/manga/weebcentral/read";
const getChapterPages = async () => {
    try {
        const { data } = await axios.get(chapterUrl, {
            params: { chapterId: "01J76XY2R7G37RRFSQJXM2YHV8/chapter-1" }
        });
        
        // Convert image URLs to use proxy
        const proxyBaseUrl = "https://api.consumet.org/manga/weebcentral/proxy?url=";
        const pagesWithProxy = data.map(page => ({
            ...page,
            img: proxyBaseUrl + encodeURIComponent(page.img)
        }));
        
        return pagesWithProxy;
    } catch (err) {
        throw new Error(err.message);
    }
};
 
console.log(await getChapterPages());

Response Schema

MIME Type: image/* (e.g., image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp)

Returns the raw image binary data with appropriate headers:

Content-Type: The original image content type
Cache-Control: public, max-age=86400
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Why Use This Proxy?

Many manga websites implement hotlink protection and CORS policies that prevent images from being loaded directly in web applications. This proxy endpoint:

Bypasses CORS: Adds appropriate CORS headers to allow cross-origin requests
Bypasses Hotlink Protection: Sets the proper Referer header expected by the source
Caching: Implements caching headers for better performance
User-Agent Spoofing: Uses a standard browser User-Agent to avoid blocks
