Cross-Origin Request Blocked

API

so in the console i get

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/chat/emoticons. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

when trying to request from https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/chat/emoticon , but only from that one, all the others i use ( /streams , /channels , /users ) i never get that error , in all the cases i make the request the same way

documentation does not mention that /chat/emoticons needs something that the others don’t , i am missing something ?

the code :

also in the response headers of the request i see " access-control-allow-origin * " , even when i found it super confusing from what i was reading that should mean that the site allows requests from any origin? , so why i see the error? ugh, super confusing

Strange, I’m getting this response if I request v5 but without the version header it returns expected data:

{
"error": "Gone",
"status": 410,
"message": "The API version you are looking for is in another castle. See https://dev.twitch.tv/docs"
}

In general that endpoint has always been trouble due to it’s size. I would recommend sticking to https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/chat/emoticon_images as much as possible.

yes, this is weird

i looked at that emoticon_images but seems to bring all the emotes for all channels
searching i found other not documented https://api.twitch.tv/api/channels/<channel_name>/product that has the sub emotes for a single channel in one shorter response, simpler for me to deal with that :slight_smile:

so gonna give a try to that first , but leaving it here so if anyone search for something similar can find it too
