Google-api-javascript-client: google places API not returning CORS headers...

[blmiles]

Hello,

I have a script calling google places api and the response does not seem to return the appropriate headers to comply with CORS and cross-domain data access.

Here's what I have, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong so that the google response handles and complies with CORS.

Thanks

javascript:

        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open("GET", 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/queryautocomplete/json?input={' + searchString + '}&types=address&language=en&crossDomain=true&key=[ourKey]', true);
        xhr.onload = function () {
            var response = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
    //do something with the response
        };
        xhr.send();

Errors:

Please redirect your question to the Google Places API https://developers.google.com/places/. This repo is for the general JS library, but not for a specific API.

Instead of arbitrarily closing and dismissing this, it'd be great if you could offer a little help...

You expect too much from a Google dev

Since it is a server problem, any kind of help will be much appreciated
