HI, how are you doing today?

I'm doing fine. How about you. Hope you're having a nice time wherever you are.

Phil Suggars • Dec 17 '21

Nice to meet you - what are you working on at the moment?

Oscar Ortiz • Dec 15 '21

I love using this platform a lot! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask questions but can anyone point me towards the right direction on learning how to make fetch requests to DEV.to API?

I am trying to render out my published articles onto my personal site but can't figure out how to work with the API KEY with my reactjs app.

Deco • Dec 16 '21

You can check the api docs here: developers.forem.com/api

Oscar Ortiz • Dec 18 '21 • Edited

I am currently working on this still. Here is my code for example.

  axios.get("https://dev.to/api/articles/me/published", {
            headers: {
                'api-key': process.env.REACT_APP_DEV_API_KEY,
            },
        }).then(res => console.log(res)).catch(err => console.log(err));

but I keep getting an error message saying I am not authorized.

Deco • Dec 19 '21

Your request seems fine.

I've tried it right now and got the same problem.

Maybe a problem with the api endpoint.

In a strange way making the request through curl worked for me.

Deco • Dec 19 '21

Found the problem.

It's CORS.

Actually CORS is disabled for public API requests but not for restricted endpoints.

Take a look in some workarounds:
