Pokemon API calls no longer working - CORS?

[simonprickett]

Pokemon API calls no longer work, each gives the following in console on Chrome:

Failed to load http://pokeapi.co/api/v1/pokemon/148/: Redirect from 'http://pokeapi.co/api/v1/pokemon/148/' to 'https://pokeapi.co/api/v1/pokemon/148/' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8000' is therefore not allowed access.

Look at moving to the v2 API https://pokeapi.co/docsv2/

Fixed.

Receiving the same error. How did you make the api call? I have:

const API_URL = 'http://pokeapi.co/api/v2'

componentWillMount() {
    console.log('HIT API')
      superagent.get(`${API_URL}/pokemon/`)
    .then(res => {
      console.log('res.body', res.body)
    })
    .catch(console.log('console.err', console.error))
  }

Getting:
"Failed to load http://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/: Redirect from 'http://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/' to 'https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access."

@amandakoster Hi there - in the end I moved to another source for the API to get around this issue and some other CloudFlare issue that they were having. I'm now using http://pokeapi.salestock.net/api/v2/ as the base URL for the API, the code here should work for that and you should be able to amend yours to hit the same base URL by changing your API_URL to http://pokeapi.salestock.net/api/v2/.
