Applications written as Java applets, Flash or Javascript widgets often face security issues where they cannot talk to a data source which does not have the same domain name as the one where they get served from. For example, if you are going to host a flash widget on http://example.com, your flash securtiy settings will normally not let you talk to any data source that is not hosted on http://example.com.

There are workarounds using crossdomain files to solve someo of these problems. However, we do not support a crossdomain file for our freeapi.daylife.com domain that lets your widget read data from anywhere.

To work-around these security issues, you need a proxy that you can host on the same domain as your widget and that proxies all DayPI calls.

Read more below to learn how to use this proxy.
