NODE.js library CORS issue

virtualLast wrote on 2017-04-03:

I have the following error being returned:
`Fetch API cannot load http://pdfcrowd.com/api/pdf/convert/html/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
bundle.js:97 ERROR: TypeError: Failed to fetch`

The code I am using(I have replaced username and key respectively):
var pdfcrowd = require('pdfcrowd');
var client = new pdfcrowd.Pdfcrowd(user, key);
client.convertHtml('<html>regular HTML code is here</html>', pdfcrowd.saveToFile('download.pdf'));

I read in the forum that CORS was not supported but the post was quite old - this isnt still the case right? If so how am I supposed to use this Node library, currently I am using browserify to use this with a website im putting together

thanks

Hello,

We do not implement CORS. It is not possible to call the API from a browser, only from a server.
