Hi @hlohlo,
Oh, sorry you're having problems - let me go and find one of my colleagues who will be able to help you.

Hi @hlohlo,

From where do you make a call? Are you aware the API does not support CORS requests?

Hi @hlohlo,
Complementing the reply of my colleague, maybe this discussion will be helpful for you:
Error message no-access-control-allow-origin (or I can’t get my client-side request to work)
I'm not completely sure this is the same issue you are experiencing, but another user seems to have found a way around a similar problem.
I hope you find it useful!
