Access-Control-Allow-Origin Issue using Core API via DfB Team API
I'm trying to use a Dropbox API, specifically one that allows a team administrator to take action for the team member, but I keep getting an access-control-error.
Here's my code:
$(document.body).on('click', '.viewfolders', function() {
var teamMember = $(this).closest('tr').attr('id');
//JSONinputs = {"list": "true"};
jQuery.ajax( {
url: 'https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json',
headers: {
'X-Dropbox-Perform-As-Team-Member': + teamMember,
"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token
},
beforeSend : function( xhr ) {
xhr.setRequestHeader( "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
},
success: function(rootresult) {
alert('success');
},
error: function(response) {
alert('error ' + JSON.stringify(response));
}
});
});
Here's the error I get:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access.
Any ideas on what's going on here? Have tried using JSONP as a dataType and gotten a 401 authorization error. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here

Also, I am using this locally (no localhost or online domain, just my HDD)

This looks like a bug on our side. We're looking into it.

This should be fixed now.
