Cross-Origin issue with API challenge

[Cowwy]

Hey, I have been searching around and it seems that the cross-origin issue is a big thing.
I can’t complete this challenge on localhost, and Codepen is also giving me the same error despite using http://crossorigin.me/

What did you guys do to get around this problem?

I used an API from Mashape (link). Read around the Mashape documentation for an understanding for how to use it, but it was pretty straight forward. Just have to signup for a API key.

Maybe this could help:

Codepen JSON issues?

I completed the Random Quotes and Local Weather projects over the past couple weeks and have recently begun working on the WikiViewer. After immense trouble with JSON and assuming that it may be an API issue with wikipedia.org, I check out my previously working projects, only to find them non-functional. Anyone else experiencing such issues or have I somehow accidentally altered my code or settings? Thanks! P.S. If it's relevant, the only change to my Chrome browser has been the 'Postman'…

Thanks everyone, I got this all worked out now.
A lot of studying and a lot of research but it was good learning experience.
