https://lemmy.ml/api/v3 works for lemmy.ml, but when I try it with lemmy.world it gives bad request, any help?

@[email protected] - it has to do with CORS (says in the error message) - You generally can't make cross-origin requests in the browser unless it is explicitly allowed. This is purely a browser limitation, which is why it works in your node environment. But if you open the console on any random website and try to call fetch() to that API, it's going to fail on any site other than lemmy.world.

yeah that's what I observed after a few more trying, is there a possible workaround to this?

Anything you do cross-origin will have to be done in a server-like environment instead of in the browser.
