Javascript - No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource
I have used the flask-cors extension.
Install using pip install flask-cors
Then it's simply
from flask_cors import CORS
app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)
This will allow all domains
Old question, but for future googlers with this problem, I solved it (and a few other downstream issues having to do with CORS) for my flask-restful app by adding the following to my app.py file:
app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)
@app.after_request
def after_request(response):
response.headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*')
response.headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type,Authorization')
response.headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,OPTIONS')
return response
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
I got Javascript working with Flask by using this decorator, and adding "OPTIONS" to my list of acceptable methods. The decorator should be used beneath your route decorator, like this:
@app.route('/login', methods=['POST', 'OPTIONS'])
@crossdomain(origin='*')
def login()
...
Edit: Link appears to be broken. Here's the decorator I used.
