HTTP request works with cURL but gets CORS response when made in browser with javascript

Question

When I access the typeform API via browser using $.get or superagent or request or axios, I get the error No \'Access-Control-Allow-Origin\' header is present on the request

Answer 1

CORS error can be manipulated through htaccess easily.

Add this to your .htaccess file: (add more file extensions as you need)

<FilesMatch ".(eot|ttf|otf|woff)">
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>

Answer 2

CORS is enforced client side by your browser. If you are not making the request with a browser CORS is not enforced.
