Laravel + Vue.js - CORS issue with specific address? - laravel-5

Laravel 5.6
Vue 2.5.7
Google Chrome
Hi, I am trying to understand this CORS issue, i'm still trying to find a way to consume this list: https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/listings/, and I receive the following error:
(index):1 Failed to load https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/listings/: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://tours.mine' is therefore not allowed access.
yet if I goto this address: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/ everything works fine.
After using this Moesif Chrome CORS extension, and thus disabling CORS for chrome, I received a new error:
Request header field X-CSRF-TOKEN is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response. received only on this address: https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/listings/
http://tours.mine - is a local name I set in httpd/vhosts.conf.
I've tried BarryVdh cors lib, I also created my own CORS middleware, nada.
Flow:
in web.php routes:
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
in welcome.blade I pass the csrf in both meta:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
and script:
<script>
window.Laravel = <?php echo json_encode([
'csrfToken' => csrf_token(),
]); ?>
</script>
My Vue instance:
<div class="container" id="app">
<coin-add-component></coin-add-component>
</div>
and in my component I have the following hook:
mounted(){
this.axios.get('https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v2/listings/')
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(e => {
this.errors.push(e)
})
}
Your help is appreciated,
Bud

The url you are trying to consume can't be used in crossdomain with javascript because it doesn't provide a response header of type "Access-Control-Allow-Origin".
In this case, if you have no control on the API server you are forced to use other unconventional ways because all modern browsers will block any requests to that site if the domain doesn't match with yours.
You have 2 alternative to solve this problem:
Use a proxy with your same domain of yours to redirect all calls to that server
Make ajax calls to your server and then make your server communicate directly with the api server using for example curl

if you are using this(https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors) make sure you turn off csrf token in your mid

CSRF token mismatch when making a POST request with Axios

I have a route in api.php which I need to use 'web' middleware on to check for csrf verification because I don't want that route to be accessible from outside.
I have read the following solutions:
Laravel “CSRF token mismatch” for POST with laravel-cors and axios
CSRF Token mismatch, laravel and axios
Laravel + Vue.js (axios) - CSRF token mismatch
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/csrf-token-mismatch-6
All of the say the same - have <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}"> in the document header and be sure to add this token to axios header in bootstrap.js after including axios. Here's my bootstrap.js fragment
window.axios = require('axios');
window.axios.defaults.headers.common = {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').getAttribute('content'),
'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
};
As you can see, everything seems to be setup correctly. I even tried assigning the token to axios header right before making the POST call but still the same issue persists - I keep getting "CSRF token mismatch". Any ideas what could be wrong?
EDIT: I have also tried appending "_token" with csrf token value in form body, still same issue.

I'm getting "blocked by CORS policy" when I try to call Instagram API using Axios [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin with instagram api
(1 answer)
CORS error, when i use instagram API with angularjs
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm trying to fetch some images from my Instagram account in a Laravel application with Vue as front end. When I try to do it in a standalone Vue app, it works well, but when I do so with Laravel, I got a message saying "has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field x-csrf-token is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response."
I'm using Laravel 5.8 and the Vue and Axios that comes within in and I'm using Homestead as my localhost server.
I've tried a lot of tips that I found here and on Google but I had no success. Basically, I'm trying the very basic of Axios call
beforeMount() {
axios.get('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=[MY_ACCESS_TOKEN]').then(response => console.log(response))
}
I already created a Cors middleware on Laravel and tried a lot of headers settings on Axios.
I'm basically trying to retrieve a list of my Instagram posts and bypass that cors / x-csrf error.
Laravel automatically applies the X-CSRF-TOKEN header to all axios requests. This is so you can communicate with your application without having to pass the CSRF token every time for POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
resources/js/bootstrap.js (default settings)
/**
* Next we will register the CSRF Token as a common header with Axios so that
* all outgoing HTTP requests automatically have it attached. This is just
* a simple convenience so we don't have to attach every token manually.
*/
let token = document.head.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]');
if (token) {
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'] = token.content;
} else {
console.error('CSRF token not found: https://laravel.com/docs/csrf#csrf-x-csrf-token');
}
You should be able to remove the offending header by doing something like this:
beforeMount() {
// create a new instance so we don't delete the csrf token for other requests
let instance = axios.create();
// delete the x-csrf-token header
delete instance.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'];
// use the new instance to make your get request
instance.get('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=[MY_ACCESS_TOKEN]')
.then(response => console.log(response))
}
Your AJAX request to the Instagram API endpoint has to be sent as a jsonp request which means the dataType of the request has to be jsonp.
This blob in axios repository contains an example of sending a request using jsonp which is mentioned below.
Install jsonp package, if you haven't already.
npm install jsonp --save
and then;
const jsonp = require('jsonp');
jsonp('http://www.example.com/foo', null, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err.message);
} else {
console.log(data);
}
});
Below is an example of sending a request using jQuery method with jsonp dataType to the Instagram API endpoint.
$.ajax({
url: "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent/?access_token=[MY_ACCESS_TOKEN]",
type: "GET",
crossDomain: true,
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(response){
console.log(response);
}
});

How to fix ajax problem: 500 Internal Server Error in laravel?

I tried using ajax to fetch my data from database and display it in my blade without refreshing it but when I applied the same steps to fetch different data for the other blade i get this error :
POST http://localhost:8000/barangay/fetch 500 (Internal Server Error)
jquery-3.3.1.js:9600.
Here is the code that needs fixing:
This is my blade:
Here is my ajax script:
Here is my router to fetch the barangays that belonged to the selected city:
Here is my code in my controller to get the data:
and here in here is the output (error :returns nothing):
Laravel uses the CSRF token in post request, so you required to add header in your ajax request something like this:
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
for more more details you can use https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/csrf
In addition to checking for the CSRF token as a POST parameter, the VerifyCsrfToken middleware will also check for the X-CSRF-TOKEN request header. You could, for example, store the token in an HTML meta tag:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
Then, once you have created the meta tag, you can instruct a library like jQuery to automatically add the token to all request headers. This provides simple, convenient CSRF protection for your AJAX based applications:
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
By default, the resources/js/bootstrap.js file registers the value
of the csrf-token meta tag with the Axios HTTP library. If you are
not using this library, you will need to manually configure this
behavior for your application.

post request using axios on Laravel 5.5

i'm trying to make some requests using axios and the last Laravel version 5.5
after configure the X-CSRF fields and all
my code is simple :
axios.post('/post-contact',{name:'Kamal Abounaim'})
.then((response)=>{
console.log(response)
}).catch((error)=>{
console.log(error.response.data)
})
but i get this error : 419 (unknown status)
what the problem supposed to be
Thanks for answering
This is happening because of the csrf-token. Just add meta tag with the csrf-token in the <head> and add that token to axios header like so.
// in the <head>
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<script type="text/javascript">
// For adding the token to axios header (add this only one time).
var token = document.head.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]');
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'] = token.content;
// send contact form data.
axios.post('/post-contact',{name:'Kamal Abounaim'
}).then((response)=>{
console.log(response)
}).catch((error)=>{
console.log(error.response.data)
});
</script>
A 419 error seems to be Authentification Timeout. Your code looks fine to me, so it seems the error is with the post-contact endpoint? Try testing that endpoint alone, in a tool like postman.

Yammer JS SDK Authenticating when user is logged into another network

There seems to be a problem if you use the SDK login function to login while the user is connected to another network. All the API calls fail and there seems to be no way to get back to the home network to authenticate.
Here is the code required to test this problem:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Yammer Login</title>
<script type="text/javascript" data-app-id="{INSERT APP ID}" src="https://c64.assets-yammer.com/assets/platform_js_sdk.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Envelope">
<div><span id="yammer-login"></span></div>
<div><input type="button" onclick="getUserInfo()" value="Get User Info"></div>
<script>
yam.connect.loginButton('#yammer-login',
function (resp) {
console.log(resp);
});
function getUserInfo() {
yam.platform.request({
url: 'users/current.json',
method: "GET",
success: function (r) { console.log("GOT RESPONSE"); console.log(r); },
error: function (r) { console.log(r.statusText) }
});
}
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If the user is logged into their home network the login code works and you can press the button to get the users information (note javascript origins are correctly configured).
You you go into the yammer interface and select another network it not longer works.
Here is what the console output looks like:
GET https://www.yammer.com/platform/login_status.json?
client_id={Client ID} 403 (Forbidden)
platform_js_sdk.js:26 XHR finished loading: GET "https://www.yammer.com/platform/login_status.json?client_id={ClientID}".
test.php:18 Object {access_token: Object, success: true, status: "connected", authResponse: true}
api.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json:1 GET https://api.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json
test.php:1 XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://webserver.com' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 401.
test.php:26 error
api.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json:1 GET https://api.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json
test.php:1 XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.yammer.com/api/v1/users/current.json. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://webserver.com' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 401.
test.php:26 error
It appears that the login token that is being uses belongs to the other network and therefore access is restricted.
Based on Yammer REST API: How to get access tokens for external networks?
you need to apply to deploy to the Global App Directory. Specify by e-mail to the Biz Dev rep that your app requires Global Access (even without being published in the App Directory). This resolves the issue.
