CORS Issue
posted by lukote159STAFFMOD on February 8, 2019 at 5:13 PM
Hello, i'm having an issue with a POST request, to generate a "request token".
xhr.open('POST', 'https://api.themoviedb.org/4/auth/request_token ');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer TOKEN');
xhr.setRequestHeader('content-type', 'application/json;charset=utf-8')
Doing so, i get the following message:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at ‘https://api.themoviedb.org/4/auth/request_token’. (Reason: Credential is not supported if the CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ is ‘*’).
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.themoviedb.org/4/auth/request_token. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
Thank you for your time :)

Hi @lukote159,
What client is this? It looks like you might need to set the credential flag to false. I have never seen this "credential" flag, but I got that from reading this document over at Mozilla.
P.S. I removed your token.

Thanks! it is working fine now. I only had set the credentials true, because that's how the example was doing, in the API Documentation. The javascript implementations on the "try it out" section always do it.
