Error 426 from newsapi.org once I deployed my site on Netlify


While I was trying my project on localhost it was working fine, using https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/ since I got the CORS problem. But once I deployed the site on Netlify, it gave me the error 426 (Upgrade Required), with or without using https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/. These are the messages that appear on my console:

>Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 426 (Upgrade Required)

>Error: Request failed with status code 426
    at createError.js:16
    at settle.js:17
    at XMLHttpRequest.<anonymous> (xhr.js:61)

I have been searching and some people seem to have similar problem to this. I have seen solutions like having my own server to pass the requests, but I don't know how to do it and, correct me if I am wrong, wouldn't that be the same as using https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/?


Solution

  • Newsapi changed their pricing model.

    You can't make requests from the browser anymore, you'll have to use a backend. I had the same problem and the easiest way around it was implementing a Node (Express) server.
