blockchain.info HTTP API support for CORS?

[w1R903]

It would be absolutely awesome if blockchain.info could support CORS:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

It would allow client-side projects to access the blockchain.info API without having to resort to hacks like using YQL.

You could try to use corsproxy

Not sure about the load it can handle though.

Damn could've used this when s3 couldn't serve fonts

What is the intended usage?

I'm assuming ajaxing the feeds

You can now add a cors=true parameter to most requests if you need the header e.g.

http://blockchain.info/unspent?cors=true

Great, thanks so much!

Which API calls support CORS?

I can get the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header back with this:

Code:

curl -v -H "Origin: http://example.com" \
  -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET" \
  -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: X-Requested-With" \
  -X GET \
  "https://blockchain.info/unspent?cors=true"

This does not respond with that header:

Code:

curl -v -H "Origin: http://example.com" \
  -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET" \
  -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: X-Requested-With" \
  -X GET \
  "https://blockchain.info/rawaddr/1EJcR6wPdtjYp2WYo1XPYryv9zJE1e6XtU?cors=true"

Am I doing something wrong?
