Successfully implemented my JavaScript CORS code to make requests to the Google Calendar API for adding emails to the calendar. Feel free to use and modify as needed. I have utilized oAuth2 for authentication, with the "google_access_token" variable already set globally outside the function.
Here's a breakdown:
*The first two lines fetch and load the necessary Google APIs (including XMLHttpRequest for CORS)
*Using new XMLHttpRequest() to create the CORS object
*requestURL is the API endpoint URL; ensure to replace it with your specific endpoint
*params is a JS object containing the data you wish to send, tailored to the specific API being utilized
*JSON.stringify(params) converts the JS data object into a JSON string
*xhr.open('POST', requestURL + '?access_token=' + encodeURIComponent(google_access_token), true ) initializes the request, note the encoding of the access token
*xhr.setRequestHeader(
'Content-Type', 'application/json') sets the content-type to specify JSON format for data transmission
*Attach response handlers to the onload and onerror events
*Finally, send the data using xhr.send(paramsjasonString)
Refer to the Google Client API for JavaScript page for insights on CORS functionality. The provided POST example may be simplistic, necessitating deeper exploration to handle more complex data formatting.
