Configuring CORS whitelist

Manage Allowed Origins for your DataHub Apps to prevent CORS errors

What is CORS?
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is an HTTP-header-based mechanism that allows a server to indicate any other origin (domain, scheme, or port) than its own from which a browser should permit the loading of resources. 
Allowed Origins
Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers, Allowed Origins, could have one or many domain addresses that you may whitelist in DataHub to comply with the default DataHub CORS policy: you need to whitelist all domains that could be a part of a cross-origin request.
CORS request example
An example of a cross-origin request: the front-end JavaScript code served from https://domain-a.com uses XMLHttpRequest to make a request for https://domain-b.com/data.json. For security reasons, browsers restrict cross-origin HTTP requests initiated from scripts. 
CORS error example
CORS Errors are common when you’re working with APIs and it’s important to handle them effectively due to security reasons.
Access to fetch at 'https://solana--mainnet--rpc.datahub.figment.io/' 
from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: 
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested 
resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's 
mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
Add Allowed Origin
1.Navigate to your App settings.
2.In the Allowed Origins section, add a domain address, that includes protocol, hostname, and optionally port. Example: http://localhost:9000 or wss://uniswap.org.
3.Click Save and save your changes to the Allowed Origins list. If you see errors upon saving you need to fix them first and click Save to revalidate and save.
Delete Allowed Origin
1.Navigate to your App settings.
2.In the Allowed Origins section, delete a domain address.
3.Click Save and save your changes to the Allowed Origins list.
