CORS error for azure digital twins core on node web application

Question

Hello, I'm working on a web application on NodeJS and I can't seem to get it working on browsers because of CORS. I know they are a browser restriction, but on this link it says that they shouldn't be a concern for node applications. Also, i've been using node vite to run a server, which by default allows any origin. The only way I get it working is if I run it on safari and disable cross-origin restrictions from developer options, and even then, some functions work and some don't.

Your understanding is correct.

Azure Digital Twins doesn't currently support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). As a result, this library cannot be used to make direct calls to the template service from a browser.

Please see the response on this thread https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/747510/cors-error-when-i-query-azure-adt-using-rest-apis.

you can try using a tool like Postman to test your server's API endpoints and see if you're getting the appropriate CORS headers. This can help you isolate the issue and determine if it's a server-side or client-side problem.

Let us know if that helps or have any further queries.
