I misunderstood why the API was originally made, it was just a separate project. It wasn't made to get around CORS issues. And yes, it looks like it is entirely private.Dagrooms– Dagrooms2019-02-25 19:53:16 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 19:53

1"Of course CORS serves for the purpose of safely sharing data between different servers, hosting different applications, as API may reject any request[..]". This is misunderstanding how CORS works (to be fair the way CORS works is completely insane so that's no surprise): The API does not reject any request due to CORS, it just informs the client and then let's it reject the request. If you write your own client you have no trouble ignoring CORS completely. CORS is no security feature.Voo– Voo2019-10-18 07:41:06 +00:00Commented Oct 18, 2019 at 7:41

CORS (or more accurately the Same Origin Policy) is a security feature. Simply writing your own client isn't enough to defeat it unless you have privileged access to the system you want to attack. You'd have to write your own client, and get someone with privileged access to run it.bdsl– bdsl2021-02-17 22:13:34 +00:00Commented Feb 17, 2021 at 22:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
