Ask HN: How to validate requests with no back end?

I'm a newer programmer who is trying to understand web security.Say I were to build an IP address lookup API service. I want to make sure that requests come from where they say they do. So I don't want someone to spoof example.com and make a request to my service. Is there a way to do this, without making the real example.com use server side code?

I've had a similar experience. After struggling with react and ember for a while, I ended up switching to using Vue, which IMHO, has a much simpler setup with Vue loader.

I'd like to know this too. I experimented with Pythons nltk library, but it's definitely a different world out there than simple programming.
Re:Ask HN: Should I learn Bootstrap 3 or 4 at this moment? on Monday December 26, 2016 @10:52PM (#13261182)
Go ahead and start using Bootstrap 4, I've been using it in production and it's quite useful.
