I'm currently coding a php website which reads certain values from a json file from my server. Now when i request the xmlhttp request to my server, i get the Access-control-allow-origin ERROR in console. I already find out i have to set Access-control-allow-origin: *; in my Apache configuration but i don't want to use * because I don't want to give everyone access to my website. So how can i just give permission for one json file to every client?
var requestURL = 'https://myWebsite/blabla.json';
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', requestURL);
request.responseType = 'json';
request.send();
request.onload = function() {
var response = request.response;
jackpot = response.items[0].value;
var inner = document.getElementById("myid");
inner.innerHTML = jackpot+" EURO";
this is my js code and i always get the Error, except i use Access-control-allow-origin: *, which i dont want to use because its unsave.
Please care im little new to web coding so im not really professional sorry.

In your PHP backend, allow only to your domain for Access-control-allow-origin
not *
. So that it will be safe.
