Just opened the pen and it spits out a CORS error.

I can confirm this. I assume it's due to the example using http instead of https.

@Itergman Yeah, I tried changing the API request to https and it works fine.

@kalunlee136 It would be awesome if you could send in a PR!

[kalunlee136]

@raisedadead i don't think i can fix the codepen problem, because the issue is that the example API request inside the pen uses HTTP (that's why if you open the pen the graph doesn't show up). I think we would need the owner of the pen to change it.

Though I can work on changing the Hint URL from the FCC challenge so people don't copy and paste the wrong URL.

@kalunlee136 The original Pen is by Free Code Camp (account under control of @QuincyLarson) so if you can create a Pen that has https within its code, then we could either clone it under the Free Code Camp account or use your pen.

Next thing though still would be to update the example links protocol to https in the challenge story as well!

@raisedadead ok, sounds good. I'll work on this.

Refer #7700 for similar issues.

Yes, as the original author of
this D3 exercise, I have changed my original to https:// and can confirm that it works fine. I can't alter the official FCC version though. @QuincyLarson will have to do that.

Unfortunately with the phasing out of FCC News this is a dooooomed project anyway. :(

@mutantspore Thanks for fixing the original pen.
Yup we are trying to look for a alternate data set!
Refer #7082

Closing as resolved.
