When I try to run a get fetch request on an Event Segmentation:
https://developers.amplitude.com/docs/dashboard-rest-api#event-segmentation
I get a CORS error that blocks talking with the GET request url. Is there a solution to using the REST API above in the frontend using javascript?

Hey
I’m not sure if your query is related to the below post.
Hi Saish! I don’t believe this is an issue with VPN or adblocker. I think in general browsers safeguard users with CORS by blocking sites from fetching GET requests sometimes which is why a lot of people tend to write requests in the backend.
I would like to do it in the frontend if it’s possible so was wondering if we can bypass this CORS issue somehow.
Here is the sample error I get:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at {Amplitude Segmentation URL redacted}. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).

Hi
Usually, as
This would usually be caused by some external application or similar interfering with the events being sent.
I’ve looked into the possible reasons and couldn’t find a solution unfortunately. I ended up calling the API in our backend server so we wouldn’t get the CORS error anymore.
