cross origin issue while using the REST API

Hi,

I just created a trial account, and using my username and api key, I am trying to make a REST API from a sample html file which I hosted in my dropbox account to convert HTML to PDF, but I am getting the following error message.

"XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://pdfcrowd.com/api/pdf/convert/html/. Origin https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin."

I think you should whitelist domains for making CORS - http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/cors/

Thanks,

Hello Nagaraj,

Thank you for your feedback. We will consider adding CORS support in future service updates.

Is there anyway I can use the REST API through JavaScript?

This is not possible at the moment.
