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

Question

I am using Google Place API.

What I want to get suggestion of place for type helping.

So, what I have done is-

var Google_Places_API_KEY = "AIzaSyAK08OEC-B2kSyWfSdeCzdIkVnT44bcBwM";      //Get it from - https://code.google.com/apis/console/?noredirect#project:647731786600:access
var language = "en";        //'en' for English, 'nl' for Nederland's Language


var Auto_Complete_Link = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?key="+Google_Places_API_KEY+"&types=geocode&language="+language+"&input=Khu";
$.getJSON(Auto_Complete_Link , function(result)
{
    $.each(result, function(i, field)
    {
        //$("div").append(field + " ");
        //alert(i + "=="+ field);
        console.error(i + "=="+ field);
    });
});

So in what link I am requesting is -

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?key=AIzaSyAK08OEC-B2kSyWfSdeCzdIkVnT44bcBwM&types=geocode&language=en&input=Khu

And if I go to this link with browser, I can get output like it (please try to ck)-

But if I try with jQuery's .getJSON or .ajax, I am getting my request blocked with this message-

.

SO the XMLHTTPRequest is blocked because of -

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.

I have checked in StackOverflow for this problem solution and go through here and here, but can't get my solution perfectly.

Can anyone please enlighten me?

Answer 1

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?"))
