Google Place API - No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access

I got it working after finding answer by @sideshowbarker here:

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource—when trying to get data from a REST API

And then used this approach to get it working:

const proxyurl = "https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/";
const url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=${latitude},${longitude}&radius=500&key=[API KEY]"; // site that doesn’t send Access-Control-*
fetch(proxyurl + url) // https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://example.com
.then(response => response.json())
.then(contents => console.log(contents))
.catch(() => console.log("Can’t access " + url + " response. Blocked by browser?"))

More info can be found in the answer in link above.

AJAX Requests are only possible if port, protocol and domain of sender and receiver are equal,if not might lead to CORS. CORS stands for Cross-origin resource sharing and has to be supported on the server side.

Solution

JSONP

JSONP or "JSON with padding" is a communication technique used in JavaScript programs running in web browsers to request data from a server in a different domain, something prohibited by typical web browsers because of the same-origin policy.

Something like this might help you mate.. :)

$.ajax({
            url: Auto_Complete_Link, 
            type: "GET",   
            dataType: 'jsonp',
            cache: false,
            success: function(response){                          
                alert(response);                   
            }           
        });    

ok so this is how we do it in javascript... google have their own functions for this....

link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_search_requests

var map;
var service;
var infowindow;

function initialize() {
  var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8665433,151.1956316);

  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
      center: pyrmont,
      zoom: 15
    });

  var request = {
    location: pyrmont,
    radius: '500',
    types: ['store']
  };

  service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
  service.nearbySearch(request, callback);
}

function callback(results, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
    for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
      var place = results[i];
      createMarker(results[i]);
    }
  }
}

anyone wants to gain access to the place Id and stuff this is how we do it.... In the call back function we have the JSONArray of places returned by google... In the call back function inside the for loop after the line var place = results[i]; u can get wat u want like

console.log(place.name);
console.log(place.place_id);
var types = String(place.types);
types=types.split(",");
console.log(types[0]);
