+In order to use the official api, you will need a token. This token can be obtained at the Official API website [https://developer.clashroyale.com](https://developer.clashroyale.com). - For each token an ip address is associated, so make sure to use the token in the same server where you got it.
+
+You can also use a **proxy server** to make the requests, such as [https://docs.royaleapi.com/proxy.html](https://docs.royaleapi.com/proxy.html) - More details below in the usage section.
 
 Once you register and get the token, you are ready to start.

+## About the proxy server
+
+The proxy server is a service provided by the RoyaleAPI team. It allows you to make requests to the official API from the browser.
+
+If you want to host your own proxy server, there is a nuxt web app you can use available at [https://github.com/AndreVarandas/royale-proxy-api](https://github.com/AndreVarandas/royale-proxy-api).
+
 ## Methods
 
 All api calls are asynchronous and used in the same way as above in the getCards example.
