You can access APIs blocked by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restriction by using either Auk Agent or custom middleware.

​
Auk Agent

The Auk Agent is a micro application designed to mitigate the challenges posed by CORS in modern web browsers. Acting as a local intermediary, it intercepts API requests made through the Auk web app and reroutes them through your local machine. This means that the Auk Agent handles requests using your local network configuration.
  1. Download the Auk Agent for your operating system:

  1. Open the Auk app and navigate to the “Interceptors” section in Settings.
  2. Locate the “Agent” option within the Interceptors section to initiate a connection to your local agent.
  3. The application will prompt you for a “One-Time Verification Code”. This verification code will be generated within the Auk Agent.
  4. Enter the verification code into the application to establish a secure connection.
Once connected, all API requests made through the Auk web app will be routed through Auk agent, effectively eliminating CORS-related issues.
Recommended interceptor for most users as it is compaitble with all platforms.
