#Unable to Create Spectrum App with domain target

I have a Spectrum app with a hostname as its target, so it definitely works. How are you trying to create the app?

#

I created the app via the API. Give me a minute to turn on my pc.

#

What I can tell you, the target needs to be a hostname, not a URL.

#

yes

#

without the https:// and the trailing /

#

you can point it to api.supabase.co

#

You still point it towards an API address. But instead of entering the IP directly, Cloudflare will regularly check the IP for api.supabase.co and update it automatically.

#

That depends on what type of application you're trying to create^^

#

I haven't tried that, but I don't think that would work. The name needs to resolve to the server IP.

#

But that doesn't make sense - why are you trying to create a Spectrum app to an external API?

#

But it's already proxied?

#

Spectrum is for arbitrary TCP/UDP. For HTTPS, you just use the normal Cloudflare proxy?

#

But you're still talking about http/https?

#

I'm not sure what exactly you want

#

Spectrum is like the https proxy, except that it allows you to use TCP/UDP applications

#

IMAP for example, so you can proxy your mail server.

i thought spectrum support http, https or other protocols as well, not only tcp/udp

#

It does, but I don't really understand WHY you're trying to use Spectrum for HTTP(S) from your explanation so far.

#

Are you an Enterprise customer? Because those are all Enterprise only features.

#

So, your vendor has an API api.supabase.co and you want to use that API for your customers, but give your customers a different name, like api.yourcompany.example?

#

I very much doubt it's using Spectrum.

#

It's using normal proxy IPs.

#

ok

#

I don't think Spectrum is the way to go. It really doesn't help you if the Origin isn't configured for the domain you intend to use with it.

#

That's an option, or if you are on Enterprise, you can use Origin rules with Host header rewrite

#

If you have a static IP, you can use that.

#

Yes, I don't think Spectrum is what you're looking for.

#

I think you just want to create Custom Hostnames (Cloudflare for SaaS) with your static IP and then use Host header overwrite.

#

But to clarify

#

Your company is A

#

You use an API from company B

#

say, api.company-b.com

#

do you want to create names like customer1.company-a.com, customer2.comapny-a.com etc?

#

or api.customer1.com?

#

Then you don't need CF for SaaS

#

just create proxied CNAME records and use Origin Rules for Host Header overwrite? Or the Worker I linked.

#

Do you see any IPs there?
