Third-Party API Calls Blocked by CORS

Calling third-party APIs from React app fails with CORS error. 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header missing. Works in backend but not client-side. Browser blocks cross-origin request.

CORS restrictions prevent client-side code from calling arbitrary APIs unless the API explicitly allows it. Solution requires using backend proxy or Edge Functions.

Error Messages You Might See

Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is missing CORS policy blocked request Preflight request failed No 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is missingCORS policy blocked requestPreflight request failedNo 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header

Common Causes

  1. Third-party API doesn't support CORS or doesn't include your domain
  2. Calling API directly from React instead of through backend
  3. Missing credentials in CORS request setup
  4. Preflight OPTIONS request fails
  5. API uses Authorization header without CORS config

How to Fix It

Route through Supabase Edge Function as proxy:

// Frontend
const response = await fetch('/functions/v1/proxy-api', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data' })
});

// Edge Function
export default async (req) => {
  const { url } = await req.json();
  const response = await fetch(url);
  return response;
}

Frequently Asked Questions

When does CORS apply?

Browser enforces CORS for client-side requests. Calls from backend/Edge Functions aren't restricted.

Can I use CORS proxy?

CORS proxy services exist but aren't recommended for production. Better to use Edge Function proxy under your control.
