Jquery AJAX: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource

I am trying to post data to an API from my localhost:4502 port. When i tried to post data to this API using POSTMAN the data got added in the backend by providing the Basic Authorization key. The same i am trying to implement here in the Ajax Jquery call, but getting an CORS error. First time in jquery i am trying to post the data, please help here, what i can add. I have got the API key to for the Basic Authorization as a Username and Password can be left blank.

  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

  <script>
               $(document).ready(function(){
               $("#Save").click(function(){

                  var person = new Object();
                  person.Name = $('#Name').val();
                  person.EmailAddress = $('#EmailAddress').val();
                  person.CustomFields = [0];
                  person.CustomFields[0].Key = "[Country]";
                  person.CustomFields[0].Value = $('#Country').val();;

               $.ajax({
                 url: 'https://api.createsend.com/api/v3.1/subscribers/7c7a6087b0e450ad72b38be83098e271.json',
                 type: 'POST',
                 dataType: 'json',
                 data:person,
                 success: function(data,textStatus,xhr){

                     console.log(data);
                 },
                 error: function(xhr,textStatus,errorThrown){
                     console.log('Error Something');
                 },
                 beforeSend: function(xhr) {

                    xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic OTdlMjVmNWJiMTdjNzI2MzVjOGU3NjlhOTI3ZTA3M2Q5MWZmMTA3ZDM2YTZkOWE5Og=="); 
                 }
             });
         });
     });
  </script>

I had this problem and resolved by adding a content type header. I don't know why that worked, but I had noticed other post requests that worked had content type set. The one that was failing didn't have one because it had no content. I hope this helps someone :)

Its a CORS issue, your api cannot be accessed directly from remote or different origin, In order to allow other ip address or other origins from accessing you api, you should add the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' on the api's header, you can set its value to '*' if you want it to be accessible to all, or you can set specific domain or ips like 'http://siteA.com' or 'http://192. ip address ';

Include this on your api's header, it may vary depending on how you are displaying json data,

if your using ajax, to retrieve and display data your header would look like this,

$.ajax({
   url: '',
   headers: {  'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': 'http://The web site allowed to access' },
   data: data,
   type: 'dataType',
   /* etc */
   success: function(jsondata){

   }
})

I have added dataType: 'jsonp' and it works!

$.ajax({
   type: 'POST',
   crossDomain: true,
   dataType: 'jsonp',
   url: '',
   success: function(jsondata){

   }
})

JSONP is a method for sending JSON data without worrying about cross-domain issues. Read More

If you are using NodeJs for your server side, just add these to your route and you will be Ok

     res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
     res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");

Your route will then look somehow like this

    router.post('/odin', function(req, res, next) {
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
      res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");


    return res.json({Name: req.body.name, Phone: req.body.phone});
});

Client side for Ajax call

 var sendingData = {
   name: "Odinfono Emmanuel",
   phone: "1234567890"
}

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){

    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/odin',            
        method: 'POST',
        type: 'json',
        data: sendingData,
        success: function (response) {
            console.log(response);
        },
        error: function (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }
        });
    });
</script>

You should have something like this in your browser console as response

{ name: "Odinfono Emmanuel", phone: "1234567890"}

Enjoy coding....

If the requested resource of the server is using Flask. Install Flask-CORS.

Be aware to use constant HTTPS or HTTP for all requests. I had the same error msg: "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource."
