I am one of those people that ended up with 1500+ profiles with messy bios. To help clean this up, I started by writing a little script to match people in my local database to their profile on WikiTree. My ultimate goal is to suggest better bios, not to automatically merge them. I fully agree with the policy that this should always be a human thing. Anyway ..
When using the WikiTree API through wikitree-javascript-sdk, I noticed it works well from the hosted version at apps.wikitree.com. However .. once I host the SDK myself on localhost:8080, I get a CORS error.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://apps.wikitree.com/api.php' from origin 'http://localhost:8080' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
Please advise, thanks
