Should I make my own "proxy" for an API?

I'm using a public API in my mobile app. One issue is that the data is not on the format I require, so I have to do some clean up on the client.I people often recommend that I should make my own proxy for the API. This makes sense to me actually, because I can separate the client from the server, and I won't have to write so much code to clean up the data on the client side.So are there any downsides to make a proxy server? One issue I see is that speed will be affected since data is coming from two servers.
