Connecting to an UK only restricted API from a server overseas

2

I'm running/writing a little app that connects to an API that only allows UK traffic to access it. I'd like to run it on my web server which is hosted in the US. Is there some way I can make the API respond as of my server is in the UK?

2One option would be, rent a cheap VPS or even shared hosting in the UK, and route the call through that! I'm sure there are better ideas but, it's still an option :) – Dave – 2015-09-15T07:14:08.460

1@Dave I am sure there are no better ideas. – MariusMatutiae – 2015-09-15T07:33:05.470

That's cleared that up then. This makes me a bit sad, I like my US hosts. – DrLazer – 2015-09-15T08:07:50.397
