Re: CORS error on any endpoint

CORS error on any endpoint

After successful authorization and getting the token I try to test it by fetching basic '/user' endpoint and I always get CORS error. Chrome Browser.

1) with preflish request:

2) Without preflight request:

What am I doing wrong, please help!

OK, I figured that out. Silly mistake. Appears that 'api.dropboxapi.com/2/check/user'

is a POST method while I was sending a GET request. The mistake would be avoided if the documentation stated that it's a POST message instead of just specifying that in a curl example which I haven't looked at.

Can you share the full error output for reference?

 

Looking at the screenshots though, I do see two things that should be corrected:

It looks like our messages just crossed. I'm glad to hear you already sorted this out, and thanks for the feedback!
