I am having a CORS issue with Ionic 3 when attempting to make GET
calls to an API. I am using Ionic local server, running ionic serve in the command line for live server.
Error No
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'
header is present on the requested resource. Origin'http://localhost:8100'
is therefore not allowed access.
I tried updating ionic.config.json
with proxy setting but that does not seem to be working..
{
"name": "projectLeagueApp",
"app_id": "47182aef",
"type": "ionic-angular",
"integrations": {
"cordova": {}
},
"proxies": [
{
"path":"/games",
"proxyUrl": "https://api-2445582011268.apicast.io/games/"
}
]
}
My Data Service
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Headers, RequestOptions } from '@angular/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
@Injectable()
export class DataProvider {
headers = new Headers({'user-key': '1234567890123'});
options = new RequestOptions ({headers: this.headers});
limit: number = 50;
constructor(public http: Http) {
console.log('Hello DataProvider Provider');
}
getGames(genre, offset_num) {
let genre_id = genre;
let offset = offset_num;
return this.http.get('https://api-2445582011268.apicast.io/games/?fields=name,release_dates,screenshots&limit='+this.limit+'&offset='+offset+'&order=release_dates.date:desc&filter[genres][eq]='+genre_id+'&filter[screenshots][exists]', this.options)
}
}
I am trying to make calls to this api
Request Url
https://api-2445582011268.apicast.io
HEADERS
Key Value
user-key YOUR_KEY
Accept application/json
Primary Question My calls are failing. How do I create proxy for this issue?
To fix this issue, please change the following lines
ionic.config.json
{
"name": "projectLeagueApp",
"app_id": "47182aef",
"type": "ionic-angular",
"integrations": {
"cordova": {}
},
"proxies": [
{
"path":"/games",
"proxyUrl": "https://api-2445582011268.apicast.io/games"
}
]
}
You have to remove the " / " which is at the end of of "proxyUrl".
My Data Service
return this.http.get('/games/?fields=name,release_dates,screenshots&limit='+this.limit+'&offset='+offset+'&order=release_dates.date:desc&filter[genres][eq]='+genre_id+'&filter[screenshots][exists]', this.options)
In the http call, the url should begin with '/games'. '/games' because ionic will proxy http://localhost:<port>/games
to https://api-2445582011268.apicast.io/games
Please use the above method for external GET and POST calls in your application.
Thank you.
