Google Place API - No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access [duplicate]

Answer 1

ok so this is how we do it in javascript... google have their own functions for this....

link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_search_requests

var map;
var service;
var infowindow;

function initialize() {
  var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433,151.1956316);

  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
      center: pyrmont,
      zoom: 15
    });

  var request = {
    location: pyrmont,
    radius: '500',
    types: ['store']
  };

  service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
  service.nearbySearch(request, callback);
}

function callback(results, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
    for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
      var place = results[i];
      createMarker(results[i]);
    }
  }
}

anyone wants to gain access to the place Id and stuff this is how we do it.... In the call back function we have the JSONArray of places returned by google... In the call back function inside the for loop after the line var place = results[i]; u can get wat u want like

console.log(place.name);
console.log(place.place_id);
var types = String(place.types);
types=types.split(",");
console.log(types[0]);

Hi,

Please try with Google distance matrix

    var origin = new google.maps.LatLng(detectedLatitude,detectedLongitude);       
    var destination = new google.maps.LatLng(latitudeVal,langtitudeVal);
    var service = new google.maps.DistanceMatrixService();
    service.getDistanceMatrix(
      {
        origins: [origin],
        destinations: [destination],
        travelMode: 'DRIVING',            
        unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC,
        durationInTraffic: true,
        avoidHighways: false,
        avoidTolls: false
      }, response_data);

      function response_data(responseDis, status) {
      if (status !== google.maps.DistanceMatrixStatus.OK || status != "OK"){
        console.log('Error:', status);
        // OR
        alert(status);
      }else{
           alert(responseDis.rows[0].elements[0].distance.text);
      }
  });

If you are using JSONP, sometimes you will get missing statement error in the CONSOLE.

I got it working after finding answer by @sideshowbarker here:

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource—when trying to get data from a REST API

And then used this approach to get it working:

const proxyurl = "https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/";
const url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=${latitude},${longitude}&radius=500&key=[API KEY]"; // site that doesn’t send Access-Control-*
fetch(proxyurl + url) // https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://example.com
.then(response => response.json())
.then(contents => console.log(contents))
.catch(() => console.log("Can’t access " + url + " response. Blocked by browser?"))

More info can be found in the answer in link above.

Google provides API Client library:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/api.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

It can do google API requests for you, given the API path and parameters:

var restRequest = gapi.client.request({
  'path': 'https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people/me/connections',
  'params': {'sortOrder': 'LAST_NAME_ASCENDING'}
});

Since the library is served from google domain, it can safely call google API's without CORS issues.

Google docs on how to use CORS.

Answer 5

There's no way in client side we using ajax fetching Google Place API, neither use jsonp(syntax error :) nor we met cors issue,

The only way in client side is using Google Javascript Library instead https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial

Or you can fetch google place api in server side, then create your own api for your client side.

I accessed the google maps API like this

    $scope.getLocationFromAddress = function(address) {
    if($scope.address!="Your Location"){
        $scope.position = "";
        delete $http.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
        $http(
                {
                    method : 'GET',
                    url : 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='+ address+'&key=AIzaSyAAqEuv_SHtc0ByecPXSQiKH5f2p2t5oP4',

                }).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {

            $scope.position = data.results[0].geometry.location.lat+","+data.results[0].geometry.location.lng;                              
        }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
            debugger;
            console.log(data);
        });
    }
}
