Cloudflare workers are really awesome when you want to secure your API Endpoint. But most of the code available online can only process single URL Parameter.

But this will be bottleneck when you want to use more than one parameter.

Here is the code for using parameter.

addEventListener('fetch', event => {
    event.respondWith(fetchAndApply(event.request))
})
async function fetchAndApply(request) {
    const init = {
      method: 'GET'
    }
    const  { searchParams } = new URL(request.url);
    let param1 = searchParams.get('param1');
    let param2 = searchParams.get('param2');
    const [output] = await Promise.all([
      fetch('https://SITE-URL/app.php?param1=' + param1 + '&param2=' + param2 , init)
    ])
    const btsc = await output.json()
    const responseInit = {
      headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8',
          'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
          'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET',
          'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers,Content-Type,Access-Control-Allow-Methods, Authorization, X-Requested-With',
          'x-content-type-options': 'nosniff',
          'x-xss-protection': '1; mode=block',
          'x-frame-options': 'DENY'
        }
    }
    return new Response(JSON.stringify(btsc), responseInit)
}

You can easily extend this code to work with Multiple parameters
