how to make a request to coinbase exchange api from localhost? - api

when I run the following code from the client side in javascript as the coinbase cloud documentation says https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/exchange/reference/exchangerestapi_getcoinbaseaccounts
const options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
'cb-access-key': 'Apikey',
'cb-access-passphrase': 'Mypassphrase',
'cb-access-sign': cb_access_sign,
'cb-access-timestamp': cb_access_timestamp
}
};
fetch('https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/coinbase-accounts', options)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
when I do it with axios the same thing happens
the following error appears in console: "Access to fetch at 'https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/coinbase-accounts' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field cb-access-passphrase is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response."
what am I doing wrong?

You can't do this in the browser, you need to do it from the web server. You can either display the data when the page loads or use vue/react and write your own interaction with the webserver.
edit: doing this in the browser makes your keys visible...

Coinbase API has misconfigured CORS (or intentionally require you to make API calls from a server). Regardless, this makes it very hard to test in a dev environment. This can be solved using a proxy. This can be configured using cors-anywhere which changes the api call flow from:
Client (localhost:3000) <-> Coinbase API (api.exchange.coinbase.com)
to
Client (localhost:3000) <-> Proxy Server (www.your-proxy-server.com) <-> Coinbase API (api.exchange.coinbase.com)
In summary, coinbase will only see a request coming from your proxy server and does not care/know where the proxy server sends back the data. Cors-anywhere will also include the headers and data along with the request.
Do not use public cor-anywhere servers unless you are quickly testing something. It is best to set up your own.
Using Firebase
I used cors-server to set mine up using firebase functions. You want your Firebase functions to look like the following:
const {onRequest} = require("firebase-functions/v2/https");
const corsAnywhere = require('cors-anywhere');
const cors = require("cors")({origin:true})
const corsServer = corsAnywhere.createServer({
originWhitelist: [
'http://localhost:3000',
],
requireHeader: ['origin', 'x-requested-with'],
removeHeaders: ['cookie', 'cookie2'],
});
exports.proxy = onRequest((request, response) => {
cors(request,response,() =>{
corsServer.emit('request', request, response);
})
});
and an example of a request in your client code
return(
axios({
url: `https://proxy-your-function-id.a.run.app/https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/profiles`,
headers: await getHeaders(options),
method: 'GET',
data: options.body
}).then((response)=>{
return(response)
}).catch((err)=>{
return(err.response)
})
)
Edit: It should also be noted that Coinbase is getting rid of Coinbase Pro and its API end of 2022. Coinbase exchange and its API will still be available at https://api.exchange.coinbase.com however Pro users will be merged into Advanced Trading on their main platform which uses oAuth to link the API (or standard keys for personal projects).

Forward a https/wss request to http/ws

I have a nextjs webapp with serverless functions that run behind ssl certificates, I want to treat the nextjs webapp as an interface to a hasura graphql query and subscription API that is not running with ssl.
I figure nextjs serverless functions would be a good way to go, I have already used it to forward requests like so: http.get('http://yoururl.com', response => response.pipe(res)).
However I can't work out a way to do this for post/subscriptions, there's a http.request function but that doesn't support body params and I'm even less sure about forwarding websocket connections.
I tried to just forward the request as a fetch but had issues with the header mismatching:
export default async (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
return fetch({
method: 'POST',
url: 'http://myurl.com/v1/graphql',
headers: req.headers,
body: req.body
})
}

get CORS problem when ty to get a token in keycloak with vuejs and axios

I trying to access one keycloak with axios in my vuejs app, but I receive the cors error, can someone help me please? (If I make a post from POSTMAN to my keycloak works fine)
I using this code:
const params = new URLSearchParams();
params.append("grant_type", "password");
params.append("client_id", "notas-front");
params.append("username", usuario.value);
params.append("password", password.value);
console.log(params);
const config = {
// withCredentials: true,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
},
};
axios.defaults.headers.common["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] =
"http://localhost:8080";
axios
.post(
"http://localhost:8082/auth/realms/lumera/protocol/openid-connect/token",
params,
config
)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
});
and get this error:
but when I look the request I can't find the error:
the OPTIONS returns 200
but the POST dont
Postman doesn't care about Same Origin Policy, browser do. That's why your request is working in Postman but not in the browser.
Access-Control-Allow-Origin is a response header, you can't set it on the client request. And as you can see from the OPTIONS response headers your server is returning: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:8080
In a development environment the best way to solve this is setting a proxy in your vue configuration. Otherwise you should configure the server to allow requests from localhost:8080
Configure Web Origins properly in the Keycloak notas-front client config.

Axios not sending custom header during options request

I have a running Vue.js application that request to the server.
My client-side application is running on e.g. cms.abc.com and the server in ApiGee running on this dns server.abc.com
The request code using axios is
const headers = {
'x-api-key': 'xxxxx123123'
}
return axios({
method: get,
url: 'server.abc.com/items',
headers: headers
}).then(response => {
console.log(respnose.data)
})
When I check the browser network I'm getting status 401 Unauthorized during OPTIONS request.
The APIgee CORS has been enabled, but when I check the logs from the ApiGee the value for x-api-key is missing.
I'm also not sure why my client side application is still sending OPTIONS request. I'm expecting that it should skip the CORS since the client and the server are having the same origin. which is abc.com

CORS issue with Express Server API to Next.js

I have a user authentication server setup using Express and Node.js in my localhost Port 3333 and I am trying to connect to the endpoint in Next.js port 3000 using isomorphic-unfetch for the fetch. I am getting a CORS 401 error, I have done a fair bit of research already but just wanted to know whether it was possible connecting to a Express server on localhosts? I have tried adding "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*", "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data" to a header object. The express server has cors setup already.
This function below is called on click of a button.
onLoginClick = async () => {
let header = new Headers({
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"
});
const res = await fetch("http://localhost:3333", {
method: "POST",
header,
body: JSON.stringify({
username: "USER",
password: "PASSWORD"
})
});
}
Error message -
http://localhost:3333/ 401 (Unauthorized)
Response {type: "cors", url: "http://localhost:3333/", redirected: false, status: 401, ok: false, …}
First of all, CORS is configured on the server side. You configure your server to allow calls from specific origins.
In your code, onLoginClick is a client-side code, it runs on the browser, client cannot decide which origin the server should allowed to, that would defeat the purpose of having CORS.
Usually you don't need to change the cors configuration in a Next.js app, because you would be calling the API from the same origin that hosted the client side app.
By default, Next.js only support same-origin for API Routes, if you need to customize it, you can use micro-cors.

React native fetching data from secured API's endpoint with JWT

I'm developing React Native application which is connected to Web API written in ASP.NET Core 2.1. I'm trying to make GET request to my secured API's endpoint, but it doesn't work both with fetch and axios.
Noteworthy is fact, when I make request to unsecured (marked as AllowAnonymous) endpoint, everything works fine.
I'm passing following header 'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + MY_TOKEN
When I tried to use axios, then it returned HTTP 401. When using fetch it returns HTTP 500.
const url = `${baseUrl}/api/cars/get`
fetch(url, {
headers: new Headers({
Authorization: "Bearer <MY_TOKEN_HERE>"
}), method: "GET"
})
I'm sure the token is valid because I am able to get data from API with Postman and with .NET Core console application client.
Is there any way to get the data from secured API's endpoint?
I solved the issue with just one line of code.
axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${TOKEN}`
Then I am able to invoke the get request.
const url = `${baseUrl}/api/values`;
axios.get(url)
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
})
Hope it helps someone who will have such issue in the future.
