I have created a demo using JavaScript for Flickr photo search API.
Now I am converting it to the AngularJs.
I have searched on internet and found below configuration.
Configuration:
myApp.config(function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
});
Service:
myApp.service('dataService', function($http) {
delete $http.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
this.flickrPhotoSearch = function() {
return $http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=3f807259749363aaa29c76012fa93945&tags=india&format=json&callback=?',
dataType: 'jsonp',
headers: {'Authorization': 'Token token=xxxxYYYYZzzz'}
});
}
});
Controller:
myApp.controller('flickrController', function($scope, dataService) {
$scope.data = null;
dataService.flickrPhotoSearch().then(function(dataResponse) {
$scope.data = dataResponse;
console.log($scope.data);
});
});
But still I got the same error.
Here are some links I tried:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load URL. Origin not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

You don't. The server you are making the request to has to implement CORS to grant JavaScript from your website access. Your JavaScript can't grant itself permission to access another website.
I had a similar problem and for me it boiled down to adding the following HTTP headers at the response of the receiving end:
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
You may prefer not to use the * at the end, but only the domainname of the host sending the data. Like *.example.com
But this is only feasible when you have access to the configuration of the server.
Try using the resource service to consume flickr jsonp:
var MyApp = angular.module('MyApp', ['ng', 'ngResource']);
MyApp.factory('flickrPhotos', function ($resource) {
return $resource('http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne', { format: 'json', jsoncallback: 'JSON_CALLBACK' }, { 'load': { 'method': 'JSONP' } });
});
MyApp.directive('masonry', function ($parse) {
return {
restrict: 'AC',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
elem.masonry({ itemSelector: '.masonry-item', columnWidth: $parse(attrs.masonry)(scope) });
}
};
});
MyApp.directive('masonryItem', function () {
return {
restrict: 'AC',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
elem.imagesLoaded(function () {
elem.parents('.masonry').masonry('reload');
});
}
};
});
MyApp.controller('MasonryCtrl', function ($scope, flickrPhotos) {
$scope.photos = flickrPhotos.load({ tags: 'dogs' });
});
Template:
<div class="masonry: 240;" ng-controller="MasonryCtrl">
<div class="masonry-item" ng-repeat="item in photos.items">
<img ng-src="{{ item.media.m }}" />
</div>
</div>
This issue occurs because of web application security model policy that is Same Origin Policy Under the policy, a web browser permits scripts contained in a first web page to access data in a second web page, but only if both web pages have the same origin. That means requester must match the exact host, protocol, and port of requesting site.
We have multiple options to over come this CORS header issue.
Using Proxy - In this solution we will run a proxy such that when request goes through the proxy it will appear like it is some same origin.
If you are using the nodeJS you can use cors-anywhere to do the proxy stuff. https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors-anywhere.
Example:-
var host = process.env.HOST || '0.0.0.0';
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
var cors_proxy = require('cors-anywhere');
cors_proxy.createServer({
originWhitelist: [], // Allow all origins
requireHeader: ['origin', 'x-requested-with'],
removeHeaders: ['cookie', 'cookie2']
}).listen(port, host, function() {
console.log('Running CORS Anywhere on ' + host + ':' + port);
});
JSONP - JSONP is a method for sending JSON data without worrying about cross-domain issues.It does not use the XMLHttpRequest object.It uses the <script> tag instead. https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_jsonp.asp
Server Side - On server side we need to enable cross-origin requests.
First we will get the Preflighted requests (OPTIONS) and we need to allow the request that is status code 200 (ok).
Preflighted requests first send an HTTP OPTIONS request header to the resource on the other domain, in order to determine whether the actual request is safe to send. Cross-site requests are preflighted like this since they may have implications to user data. In particular, a request is preflighted if it uses methods other than GET or POST. Also, if POST is used to send request data with a Content-Type other than application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data, or text/plain, e.g. if the POST request sends an XML payload to the server using application/xml or text/xml, then the request is preflighted.
It sets custom headers in the request (e.g. the request uses a header such as X-PINGOTHER)
If you are using the spring just adding the bellow code will resolves the issue.
Here I have disabled the csrf token that doesn't matter enable/disable according to your requirement.
#SpringBootApplication
public class SupplierServicesApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SupplierServicesApplication.class, args);
}
#Bean
public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() {
return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
#Override
public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
registry.addMapping("/**").allowedOrigins("*");
}
};
}
}
If you are using the spring security use below code along with above code.
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class SupplierSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests().antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS, "/**").permitAll().antMatchers("/**").authenticated().and()
.httpBasic();
}
}
I encountered a similar problem like this, problem was with the backend . I was using node server(Express). I had a get request from the frontend(angular) as shown below
onGetUser(){
return this.http.get("http://localhost:3000/user").pipe(map(
(response:Response)=>{
const user =response.json();
return user;
}
))
}
But it gave the following error
This is the backend code written using express without the headers
app.get('/user',async(req,res)=>{
const user=await getuser();
res.send(user);
})
After adding a header to the method problem was solved
app.get('/user',async(req,res)=>{
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
const user=await getuser();
res.send(user);
})

This answer outlines two ways to workaround APIs that don't support CORS:
Use a CORS Proxy
Use JSONP if the API Supports it
One workaround is to use a CORS PROXY:
angular.module("app",[])
.run(function($rootScope,$http) {
var proxy = "//cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com";
var url = "http://api.ipify.org/?format=json";
$http.get(proxy +'/'+ url)
.then(function(response) {
$rootScope.response = response.data;
}).catch(function(response) {
$rootScope.response = 'ERROR: ' + response.status;
})
})
<script src="//unpkg.com/angular/angular.js"></script>
<body ng-app="app">
Response = {{response}}
</body>
For more information, see
GitHub: CORS Anywhere
Use JSONP if the API supports it:
var url = "//api.ipify.org/";
var trust = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(url);
$http.jsonp(trust,{params: {format:'jsonp'}})
.then(function(response) {
console.log(response);
$scope.response = response.data;
}).catch(function(response) {
console.log(response);
$scope.response = 'ERROR: ' + response.status;
})

Answered by myself.
CORS angular js + restEasy on POST
Well finally I came to this workaround:
The reason it worked with IE is because IE sends directly a POST instead of first a preflight request to ask for permission.
But I still don't know why the filter wasn't able to manage an OPTIONS request and sends by default headers that aren't described in the filter (seems like an override for that only case ... maybe a restEasy thing ...)
So I created an OPTIONS path in my rest service that rewrites the reponse and includes the headers in the response using response header
I'm still looking for the clean way to do it if anybody faced this before.
Apache/HTTPD tends to be around in most enterprises or if you're using Centos/etc at home. So, if you have that around, you can do a proxy very easily to add the necessary CORS headers.
I have a blog post on this here as I suffered with it quite a few times recently. But the important bit is just adding this to your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and ensuring you are already doing "Listen 80":
<VirtualHost *:80>
<LocationMatch "/SomePath">
ProxyPass http://target-ip:8080/SomePath
Header add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" "*"
</LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>
This ensures that all requests to URLs under your-server-ip:80/SomePath route to http://target-ip:8080/SomePath (the API without CORS support) and that they return with the correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to allow them to work with your web-app.
Of course you can change the ports and target the whole server rather than SomePath if you like.
var result=[];
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
var url="";// your request url
var request={};// your request parameters
var headers = {
// 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa(username + ":" + password),
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': true,
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
"X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"
}
$http.post(url, request, {
headers
})
.then(function Success(response) {
result.push(response.data);
$scope.Data = result;
},
function Error(response) {
result.push(response.data);
$scope.Data = result;
console.log(response.statusText + " " + response.status)
});
});
And also add following code in your WebApiConfig file
var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");
config.EnableCors(cors);
we can enable CORS in the frontend by using the ngResourse module.
But most importantly, we should have this piece of code while making the ajax
request in the controller,
$scope.weatherAPI = $resource(YOUR API,
{callback: "JSON_CALLBACK"}, {get: {method: 'JSONP'}});
$scope.weatherResult = $scope.weatherAPI.get(YOUR REQUEST DATA, if any);
Also, you must add ngResourse CDN in the script part and add as a dependency
in the app module.
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.2.16/angular-resource.js"></script>
Then use "ngResourse" in the app module dependency section
var routerApp = angular.module("routerApp", ["ui.router", 'ngResource']);
I make $http POST request to a server api but request method changes to OPTIONS.
I do it all with localhost. So I did the same request through the Postman and everything works
Service:
function httpReg(userData) {
console.log(userData)
return $http({
method: 'POST',
url: CONFIG.APIHost + '/auth/signup',
data: {
"username": userData.username,
"email":userData.email,
"password": userData.password
},
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
}
});
}

Actually your preflight request is bounced back.
If the browser doesn't trusts the data source you are hitting the browser first sends a preflight request to that server and if that returns 200OK, then browser will send your original request.
The applies only to browsers, and other tools such as postman dosen't send and preflight requests, so your code might work their.
How to solve the problem.
Add headers for accepted options GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT to the requested resource.
Yes it looks like cors problem.
Try one of the following:
Try to set the referrer in your header
Try this:
app.config(['$httpProvider', function ($httpProvider) {
//Reset headers to avoid OPTIONS request (aka preflight)
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common = {};
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post = {};
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.put = {};
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.patch = {};
}]);
Remove the x-auth* settings from _app.js file of your yeoman/gulp settings.
Reference: AngularJS performs an OPTIONS HTTP request for a cross-origin resource
I am new to Angularjs and wondering how to check the token's expire date and time before sending any request.
I googled and found there are concepts like interceptors and decorators in angular but I am a bit confused which one to use and how. Or is there any better way to do it.
What am I doing right now?
I have created a service that has GET, POST functions take url, data and config as parameters and there I am checking the token. I know this is not the right approach.
You can use an interceptor that will configure every $http call. enter link description here
You can write interceptor which will cancel invalid token request before it is actually sent:
return {
'request': function(config) {
if (condition) {
var canceler = $q.defer();
config.timeout = canceler.promise;
canceler.resolve();
}
return config;
}
}
Obviously, you can manipulate config before returning it and (for example) change token.
I've been trying to call an external API (Vimeo) from my AngularJS code, using $http.jsonp. But all i get is a 401 Authorization required even though i added my authorization Key to the header. had a similar problem doing the same thing with jQuery.ajax(). But with jQuery i solved the problem by setting the beforeSend function to set my authorization key on the request Header using the xhr object.
My code:
function(){
var config = {
headers: {Authorization: "bearer 34210aeac4e02a251b8821a53620e93c"},
params : {
callback: 'JSON_CALLBACK'
}
};
var url = "https://api.vimeo.com/tags/fun/videos?per_page=5";
$http.jsonp(url, config).success(function(response){
console.log(response);
});
};
How do i get this to work. Is the some kind of config.beforeSend that i can use to set the header just like jQuery
In angular you could use http interceptor
Define your http interceptor: this one will add a token on every http request
ng.module('interceptors')
.factory('authorizationInterceptor', function () {
return {
request: function (config) {
config.headers = config.headers || {};
config.headers.Authorization = 'Bearer ' + '34210aeac4e02a251b8821a53620e93c';
return config;
}
};});
register your interceptor
angular.module('myApp',[]).config(['$httpProvider',function ($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.interceptors.push('authorizationInterceptor');
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common["X-Requested-With"] = 'XMLHttpRequest';
}]);
Note, I think the first letter of bearer must be capital letter in you header
I don't know Angular too well, but I think the issue is that you're using JSONP. Since that uses the browser's script tag to get around CORS restrictions, it does not allow for verbs other than GET nor setting headers.
The Vimeo API supports CORS headers, so you actually want to make a regular GET request using the browser's AJAX functionality. I believe that AngularJS provides for this with the $http.get function to do what you're currently doing (docs).
I would try out:
function(){
var config = {
headers: {Authorization: "Bearer 34210aeac4e02a251b8821a53620e93c"}
};
var url = "https://api.vimeo.com/tags/fun/videos?per_page=5";
$http.get(url, config).success(function(response){
console.log(response);
});
};
I'm creating a web app using AngularJS. To test it, I'm running the app in a NodeJS server, using angular-seed template.
In this app, I need to send a JSON message to another host, via POST request, and get the response, so, I'm using CORS.
My request is done by implementing a service that uses AngularJS http service (I need the level of abstraction that $http provides. So, I don't use $resource).
Here, my code. Please pay attention to the fact that I modify $httpProvider to tell AngularJS to send its requests with the appropriate CORS headers.
angular.module('myapp.services', []).
// Enable AngularJS to send its requests with the appropriate CORS headers
// globally for the whole app:
config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
/**
* Just setting useXDomain to true is not enough. AJAX request are also
* send with the X-Requested-With header, which indicate them as being
* AJAX. Removing the header is necessary, so the server is not
* rejecting the incoming request.
**/
delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
}
]).
factory('myService', function($http) {
return {
getResponse: function() {
var exampleCommand = JSON.stringify({"foo": "bar"});
// This really doesn't make a difference
/*
var config = {headers: {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin':'*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type, Content-Length, Accept',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
};
*/
//return $http.post(REMOTE_HOST, exampleCommand, config).
return $http.post(REMOTE_HOST, exampleCommand).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(data);
return data;
}).
error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
return {'error': status};
});
}
}
});
The problem is I can't make it work. I always get this error message:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
the remote resource at REMOTE_HOST. This can be fixed by moving the
resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.
But if I do a simple jQuery AJAX call like this:
$.ajax(REMOTE_HOST,
{
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
data: exampleCommand,
success: function(data) { console.log(data); },
error: function(request, textStatus, errorThrown) { console.log("error " + textStatus + ": " + errorThrown);}
});
It works fine.
So, my questions:
- How do I allow cross-site requests in an AngularJS running under NodeJS?
UPDATE: Thanks to Dayan Moreno Leon's response.
My problem is I need to add cors support to my server. I'm using NodeJS http-server for development and lighttpd for production.
- Why does the simple jQuery POST request work but AngularJS POST request doesn't?
I guess jQuery AJAX requests are cross-domain by default. Not really sure yet.
Many thanks in advance
CORS is not handled on the client but in the server you need to allow CORS on your nodejs app where your angular app is trying to POST. you can try using cors module if you are using express
https://www.npmjs.org/package/cors
other whise you need to check for the options method and return 200 as a response
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing
Why does the simple jQuery POST request work but AngularJS POST request doesn't?
jQuery uses simple requests while AngularJS uses preflighted requests
In your angular code you can add set Content-Type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded and encode your data using $.param
