Connect to Confluence Cloud via REST Api in javascript leads to CORS error

[Phil F]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to our confluence cloud wiki via the REST Api. This is done in javascript with a jQuery ajax request: 

url = 'https://???.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/1409034?expand=body.view';            
var encode = Base64.encode("EMAIL:PASSWORD");
            
$.ajax({
	type: "GET",
	url: url,
	dataType: 'json',
	crossDomain: true,
	beforeSend: function (xhr) {
		xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic "+encode);
	},
	success: function (){
		console.log("success");
	}
});

This request leads to the following CORS error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://smashdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/1409034?expand=body.view. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.

I have activated the Remote API and the anonymous access to the Remote API in the confluence administration settings, but that doesn't solve the problem.

Any ideas? Or is this impossible with the cloud version confluence?

I got this problem as well, is there solution?

Hey Phil, were you ever able to resolve this? We're hitting a similar wall with Confluence Cloud and Support wasn't able to assist.

I have the very same issue. Any news on this?

Hi Sash,

yes, I have tried that. This leads to the next error:

Refused to execute script from 'https://???.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/1409034?expand=body.view&callback=jQuery110202722693895921111_1421155061833&_=1421155061834' because its MIME type ('application/json') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

Have you tried setting dataType to jsonp?

dataType: 'jsonp',
crossDomain: true,
