CORS error...simple fix

[Steven Moore]

 
In the process of teaching myself d3.js, which is an awesome library, I used the Europeana REST API in a small project:  http://www.europeana-d3.info

I realized recently that it stopped working, and the error said something about the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header was missing.  After an hour or so of trying to set the header, I realized that my older working code had this...

var url = "https://europeana.eu/api/v2/search.json?query=...

when it needed to be this...

var url = "https://www.europeana.eu/api/v2/search.json?query=...

And as soon as I added "www" it started to work again.  I'm pretty sure I copied the original query syntax from an example, so it is possible that others did too.  Just a heads-up.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this, very useful! We'll make sure we advertise the use of www.europeana.eu as much as possible and see if we can also expose these headers on the non-www domain.

Best,
