Ajax request and CORS

1

I’m trying to get the RSS feeds from multiple websites. However, I ran into a problem which I’m not sure how I can solve it.

First, for some RSS feeds, my code works, like this one:

function requeteRSS(){
    let url = "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/World.xml";
    $.ajax(url, {
        method: "GET",
        complete: function(element){
            let xmlContent = element.responseText;
            console.log(xmlContent)
        }
        }
    )

}

However, for many RSS url, I get a CORS error and my function doesn’t work, like for this link : http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml
And the CORS error for many links like the one above : No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.
Why is that and how I can solve this problem? Thanks you!

Hi,
According to the MDN,
If the server sends a response with an Access-Control-Allow-Origin value that is an explicit origin (rather than the " * " wildcard), then the response should also include a Vary response header with the value Origin — to indicate to browsers that server responses can differ based on the value of the Origin request header.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://developer.mozilla.org
Vary: Origin

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Access-Control-Allow-Origin

How can I do to not have this type of errors, because I do not obtain the .xml when this type of errors happens.

Hi,
the server block the access to this resources and it demand to subscribe.

Hi, thanks for your response,
I’m not sure the issue is with subscribing, since that I get the same issues for many websites who provides rss feed like this one: dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/rss

You can try with others, like I said some works some doesn’t and I want them all to work, without any Cors errors.
This one doesn’t give me a cors error: https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/World.xml

You need to use a proxy (either your own) or one like cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com
