• Operating System: Windows 10
• Node version: 12.4.0
• google-play-scraper version: 7.0.4

Description:

I have issues with Cross-Origin Request Blocked error.

Example code:

var gplay = require('google-play-scraper');
gplay.app({appId: 'com.oriente.finmas'}).then(console.log);

Error message:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oriente.finmas&hl=en&gl=us. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing)

We have done

create vue.config.js
and write

module.exports = {
    devServer: {
        proxy: 'https://play.google.com/',
    }
}

and error accured with message:
Error: Error requesting Google Play:NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

Are you running this library from the browser?

Are you running this library from the browser?

yes, on localhost

This is not supposed to run from the browser. AFAIK you can't avoid that CORS issue, maybe someone else knows how to handle it.

There is what you can do:

• Run local server on node.js on some port, write some handler that return you result of some function of this library, and access this handler from browser
• install some plugin for your browser that enable CORS
