What library you using to make API requests? Here's how I've done it with axios - github.com/matthewro...

@matthew oh thanks yes axios will take a gander.

@matthew the current code is all here FYI gitlab.adamprocter.co.uk/adamproct...

👍

@matthew appears I have to use POST not GET so off to work that out. Have shoved the start of the webapp online too microcard.adamprocter.co.uk

Let me know if you need help with the MB API. I've been using it A LOT as of late. I can see you are already using Axios - I have a screenshot here on getting mentions from the app I'm building. I set a default "baseURL" on the normal axios instance (the one you import from the library).axios.defaults.baseURL = API_URL;

@vincent oh cool thank you ! I am a bit stuck moving to the token and using axios POST. For now it just GETs the json feed and I will be trying to use indieauth later. Feel free to make any suggestions / help much appreciated. Code is all here gitlab.adamprocter.co.uk/adamproct... will take a look at your screen shot properly and will have a play on and off today (hopefully)

@vincent also fyi, @manton added more help on indieauth here help.micro.blog/2019/api-...

hello @matthew @vincent I have hit a CORS wall at the moment and it seems to suggest that this is due to authorization header being sent (OPTIONS) and so I get stopped by a preflight CORs check which @manton is also looking into however @matthew your electron app appears to be using header authorization too and was not hitting preflight issues? Did you do anything special? stackoverflow.com/questions...

Is this in the same repo you linked before? So I can take a look?

@matthew of course gitlab.adamprocter.co.uk/adamproct...

The issue is CORS on the micro.blog API, electron doesn't have the same pre-flight requests as a browser that's why my App gets past it. Manton will need to open the API up for CORS

@matthew thanks that’s the conclusion I had drawn will wait and see what @manton can do thanks for taking a look too

Hey Adam. Yep @matthew is correct. It’s the API side of things.

@vincent 👍
