API authentication issue - CORS

[Alexey Chub]

Hi,

I want to open a window app.clio.com/oauth/authorize in javascript.

Then, read a success code after user allows app.

BUT

can't do that because of CORS - can't access even the window's title.

The question is:

May I define Allowed Origins (CORS) somewhere?

Or, may be another way to get rid on this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alexey,

I'm curious about your use case.  What are you trying to build? 

Check out the OAuth2 authentication section of  https://app.clio.com/api/v4/documentation as that may help.

Clio API's cannot be accessed by JavaScript. It is definitely CORS issue.

We faced the same problem for a long time and had to write a PHP bridge to enable CORS to consume Clio API's

I can be of some help in case you need

Thanks

Actually you can :-)

You will have to create a simple NodeJS express server (javascript) to proxy to the clio API, then make calls from your frontend to the express server where you can handle the cors issues.

See https://github.com/report-zone/data-generator for an example on how to do this.
