Having trouble getting v4 authorization via javascript
posted by geogolemSTAFFMOD on March 6, 2017 at 4:02 AM
I am trying to implement the control flow to allow users to authenticate using the v4 API.
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.themoviedb.org/4/auth/request_token. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:7878' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 500.
What am I doing wrong here?
I realize this likely has to do with CORS but what can I or should I do to resolve it?
Thanks!

Could you possibly let me know if I am doing something wrong or if it is something not fully implemented in the v4 api yet?
I would appreciate a little feedback - thanks! :)

I'll take a look at this tomorrow morning when I get into work. Thanks for your patience George.

Hi George sorry about not getting to this. I had a crazy day yesterday. I need to push an update on the API to handle the pre-flight request. I'll try to get to this on Monday.

I have made some changes to the API as well as created a small little test script for v4 auth that you can see and use here. I've tested and walked through the steps all the way to generating a valid user access token and everything looks like it's working.
Cheers.
