API Request fails every time

Hi!
I tried to use your api to create a room.
I use your example code above with my credentials:

fetch("https://w2g.tv/rooms/create.json", {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        "w2g_api_key": "<api_key>",
        "share": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wdp35Z-fRs",
        "bg_color": "#00ff00",
        "bg_opacity": "50"
    })
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(function (data) {
    console.log("W2G: Here is your room! \n https://w2g.tv/rooms/" + data.streamkey);
});

But every time I try to run it, it returns me this exception:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

Does anyone know why this happens?
Thanks!

Do you know which HTTP status code you get in the response?

Hi!

All I get are these errors:

1:
Access to fetch at 'https://w2g.tv/rooms/create.json' from origin 'null' 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. w2g.tv/rooms/create.json:1

2:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED index.html:4

3:
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch at index.html:4

I don’t know which status code you are talking about, but:
If I go on the website https://w2g.tv/rooms/create.json normally with a normal browser, without fetching anything, it says to me: “Internal Server Error 500”
(I don’t know if that has any meaning)

Thanks for the info. It sounds like your are trying to run the code in a browser. This won’t work. The API is intended to be used only on a server. If you want to use JavaScript you can use NodeJS on your server.
