I'm trying to make Yammer API request as per instruction here: . When I run this example:

yam.getLoginStatus(
  function(response) {
    if (response.authResponse) {
      console.log("logged in");
      yam.platform.request({
        url: ".json",     //this is one of many REST endpoints that are available
        method: "GET",
        data: {    //use the data object literal to specify parameters, as documented in the REST API section of this developer site
          "letter": "a",
          "page": "2",
        },
        success: function (user) { //print message response information to the console
          alert("The request was successful.");
          console.dir(user);
        },
        error: function (user) {
          alert("There was an error with the request.");
        }
      });
    }
    else {
      alert("not logged in")
    }
  }
);

I'm doing that on localhost and I'm getting following error:

"XMLHttpRequest cannot load .json?letter=a&page=2&_=1401954073159. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access."

Any idea how to solve this?

One more thing. I can't specify additional headers in this as this call is executed as 'OPTIONS' not a 'GET' request method.

Hope someone had same issue with Yammer latest API and was able to solve it.

Thanks

• javascript
• ajax
• rest
• cors
• yammer

• This is sorted, whole JavaScript Origin side on Yammer it is a bit flaky but finally I got it to work – eloleon Commented Jun 5, 2014 at 8:41
• 1 Any hints on how you made it work? Maybe you could answer your own question – pcv Commented Aug 15, 2014 at 8:53
• hey pcv. I've answered this in next answer: 'Actual 'error' has been caused by their bad documentation. REST endpoint is api.yammer./api/ not www.yammer./api'. thanks – eloleon Commented Aug 21, 2014 at 8:06
• hmhm, that didn't work for me. I get the error no matter if I use www.yammer. or api.yammer. – pcv Commented Aug 21, 2014 at 17:15

Be sure to update your Yammer apps JS Origins to match the environment hostnames that you are testing in.

You can configure those origins at this link here:

https://www.yammer./client_applications

And clicking your application, then clicking "Basic Info".

Use the hostname as "api.yammer." instead of "www.yammer.". I believe documentation needs to be updated and I'll get that updated.

Alternatively, you can use yam.platform.request('users.json') instead of yam.request('https://api.yammer./api/v1/users.json') which you don't have to tweak with the hostname.

add your application url to "Javascript Origins" in yammer application basicinfo.
