Getting CORS Error when using Google Business API

I am using google business API and trying to get location list.

I am going trough their documentation and using project from the link below as basis

https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/implement-oauth

Using that project I am able to successfully retrieve accounts list.

The problem occures when I try to retrieve locations list using accountID. Here is a link for their documentation https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/manage-locations

Acording to documentation, to get location list for specific account, I should use following request

GET

https://mybusinessbusinessinformation.googleapis.com/v1/{accountId}/locations

Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

This is the code snippet, that I added to their sample project

function retrieveGoogleMyBusinessLocations(accessToken) {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: 'https://mybusinessbusinessinformation.googleapis.com/v1/{accID}/locations',
        headers: {
            'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + accessToken
        },
        success: function(returnedData) {
            var e = document.createElement("pre")
            e.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(returnedData, undefined, 2);
            document.body.appendChild(e);
        }
    });
}

When I do this request, it gives "CORS error". The error in the console is following

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://mybusinessbusinessinformation.googleapis.com/v1/xxx/locations' from origin 'http://localhost:8001' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

GET https://mybusinessbusinessinformation.googleapis.com/v1/xxx/locations net::ERR_FAILED

From the error message it seems that server does no accept requests from localhost:8001, but if I do request to different endpoint it will return result.

For example if I change utl from

https://mybusinessbusinessinformation.googleapis.com/v1/{accID}/locations

to

https://mybusinessbusinessinformation.googleapis.com/v1/accounts/{accID}/locations?readMask=categories

With the second url it will return successfull result.

I am confused why it is allowing requests to one endpoint and blocks requests to other endpoint. Can anyone help with this problem?

Have you tried making direct API requests via the Google Developers OAuth 2.0 Playground?
I tried to reproduce your error but got the expected 404 Not Found response for the unsupported endpoint pattern.
