I'm trying to learn AngularJS by making a simple web app using the Twitch API (https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API) but I'm having trouble performing a GET request since it's a cross-domain request. This is what I have tried
angular.module('streamPlaylisterAppServices', []).factory('twitchService', ['$http',
function($http) {
return function(usercode){
console.log("usercode inside service is: " + usercode)
var authHeader = 'OAuth' + usercode;
return $http({
method: 'GET',
url: ' https://api.twitch.tv/kraken',
cache: false,
headers:{
'Accept': 'application/vnd.twitchtv.v3+json',
'Authorization': 'OAuth ' + usercode
}
})
};
}]);
but I get this for an error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.twitch.tv/kraken. The request was redirected to 'http://www.twitch.tv/kraken', which is disallowed for cross-origin requests that require preflight.
I know I need to be using a JSONP request but how do I set headers that way? Can anyone show me an example of a JSONP request and how to set headers for it like I did in the example above? If I can't set headers in JSONP requests, how else do I set request headers?
Make the request with:
$http.jsonp('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/games/top?limit=' + number + '&callback=JSON_CALLBACK')
This will return to you json and you wont have problems with XMLHttpRequest
