Nice work. I've made something similar, but more generic at https://github.com/SimplyEdit/simplyview/blob/master/js/simply.api.js
Does anyone know of any other similar approaches using Proxy?

Amazing work

This is pretty cool. Also, very similar to something I have been using for a while.

import {objectCopy} from "./objectCopy.js"

const defaults = {
  cache: "no-cache",
  credentials: "same-origin",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  mode: "same-origin",
  redirect: "follow",
  referrerPolicy: "no-referrer"
}
const METHODS = [
  "DELETE",
  "GET",
  "HEAD",
  "OPTIONS",
  "PATCH",
  "POST",
  "PUT",
]

function naiveSDK (root, config = {}, fetchAPI = fetch) {
  if (!fetchAPI) {
    throw new Error("No fetch API available.")
  }

  const defaultOptions = {...objectCopy(defaults), ...objectCopy(config)}
  const request = (method) => (route, body, options = {}) => fetchAPI(
    `${root}${route}`,
    {
      ...(body ? {body: JSON.stringify(body)} : {}),
      method,
      options: {...defaultOptions, ...objectCopy(options)},
    },
  )

  return new Proxy(METHODS, {
    get: (all, method) => all.includes(method.toUpperCase())
      ? request(method.toUpperCase())
      : () => {throw new Error(`Invalid HTTP method called: ${method}.`)},
    set (_, prop) {throw new Error(`Attempting to set property "${prop}".`)},
  })
}

export {naiveSDK}
