Goal: create a proxy forwarding requests to https://api.unsplash.com. The proxy adds Authorization and Accept-Version headers, to comply with the terms of use of the API.

First I create the rp.conf file with the content below.

Then I run nginx with:

docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8888 -v $PWD/rp.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf nginx

To test the proxy:

curl -v 'http://localhost:8080/search/photos?query=mountain'

NB: it cannot pass through the non-transparent corporate proxy.

rp.conf

events { }

http {
    server_names_hash_bucket_size 128;

    access_log /dev/stdout;
    error_log /dev/stderr;

    server {
        listen       8888;

        location / {
           proxy_pass https://api.unsplash.com;
           proxy_ssl_server_name on;
           proxy_set_header Host "api.unsplash.com";
           proxy_set_header Authorization "Client-ID <MY OAUTH TOKEN>";
           proxy_set_header Accept-Version "v1";
        }
    }

}
