CORS doesn't apply to the client because it isn't try to do the request from another website - it's doing it from your computer. But when you do it on your site using AngularJS - then you encounter the CORS issue.

How is Google Rest API sending their request to avoid the CORS issue? I've read so many different ways to try and solve the issue but not a standard one so I tried it in Goggle Rest API and that's when i saw it worked for them.

Sorry, just to make sure I'm on the right page with you - the Google REST client you are using is the Chrome Extension? Or something else?

Chrome Extensions are allowed to send and received data from remote servers. developer.chrome.com/extensions/xhr

Gotcha, that makes me feel a lot better. Their needs to be a standard practice to this CORS issue because it waste a lot of development time.

Well - forgive me if I'm mistaken but I think maybe you're not quite seeing the difference between using the Chrome extension and trying to do the same call from inside a website. There's a big difference in the sense that CORS is meant to prevent REST calls between websites - but when you use the Chrome extension, you're making a call between your computer and a website (as opposed to two websites).
