Angular Local Dev Testing

[greg2]

I have been going around in circles and would appreciate some help please. I have got an Angular 6 app running locally under the domain of http://gregduffield.com:4200 I have added this to the API Key as an authorised Domain but I am still getting a CORS error

Failed to load https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=barclays: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://gregduffield.com:4200' is therefore not allowed access.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Please search the forum for Access-Control-Allow-Origin, there are many posts that will help.

Thanks Mark, I have done this and that is why I am confused.

I am running locally as gregduffield.com:4200 which is mapped to 127.0.0.1
I have updated the API to allow http://gregduffield.com:4200 which I thought would then be the answer but I am still getting the CORS error. As CORS is defined on the Server I am not sure what else I can do to get this working locally at the moment?

Thanks

As far as localhost stuff goes the following should work (apologies if you read this already):

Allow localhost JavaScript domain?

Hello, I apologise if this has been mentioned before, although I was unable to find a solution when I searched through previous posts or the API docs. I have been attempting to construct some simple queries from a JavaScript application. The application is running on a localhost at the domain http://localhost'. I.e. the 'Origin' specified in the request header is 'http://localhost'. However, I am unable to enable access by adding 'http://localhost', or 'localhost' (or any other permutation…

Maybe the ports part is confusing CH? I don’t know how ports work in the Companies House scheme of things when registering an api URL e.g. possibly the issue is the “:4200”. In the thread above it seems that what you need is:

@Tom_Roberts

the API expects a URL consisting of three parts, i.e. protocol, second-level and top-level domain. So http://domain.domain

If you have the possibility to, what happens if you try just using “localhost” and then as per:

@antoine

editing /etc/hosts or its equivalent on your OS.

192.168.0.1 localhost my.localdomain

And you can now register my.localdomain as a CH API “JavaScript domains”.
