problem with HTTP requests in the code playground

Question

I'm trying to use the API from another site in a program in the code playground. The XMLHttpRequest only reaches a readyState of 1, meaning a server connection was established, but doesn't go any further.

Is this specific to SoloLearn or am I most likely just making a mistake?

Answer 1

i assume the problematic code is the one in your codes list?
here's a modified version

Answer 2

wasn't CORS (well it was actually, but dealt with it with the cors-anywhere API)
main problem was not creating a listener to handle the response

here's some stuff to read @Ashley

XMLHttpRequest MDN:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest

cors-anywhere:

https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere/blob/master/README.md

end point for making requests

Answer 3

Maybe CORS protection. Could you share your code here?

Answer 4

yep, it's the one in my code list. Thanks @Burey!

Answer 5

nice code:)
