Answer 1

This kind of error usually occurs when the fetch function encounters a problem while trying to retrieve data from a specified URL. When the server hosting the data restricts access from web pages hosted on different domains for security reasons ( For both Sololearn and Github ). We call it CORS or Cross-Origin Resource. This is a security feature. This restriction helps prevent malicious websites from accessing sensitive data from other sites without permission.

But in your case I think you use Invalid URL. Check that URL it won't work! Solutions are many to resolve this issue e.g.
- Server Side Configuration,
- Proxy Server,
- JSONP (JASON with padding) or
- CORS Proxy Server

But tell me first is that you the owner of that repo? If not then try to create your own JSON file.
