API Help! CORS: No 'access-control-allow-origin' header is present

Hi, I want to make a simple customized HTML Sign In page with only one Email Input and a Button and check if the user has actually purchased my app using data from this link: https://itch.io/api/1/KEY/game/CODE/purchases?email=EMAIL_ADDRESS_INPUT

Is it possible to get the data using an XMLhttp request?

I am currently getting the following error:

CORS: No 'access-control-allow-origin' header is present

Does itch provide some way to allow Fetch the data from my domain?

Thanks :)

This API is designed for server side access only, because you need to keep your API key private and not publish it. For that reason we do not add the cors headers necessary to enable browser side requests.

Hope that helps!

I see yeah, thats a necessary precaution then. Thanks.
Is it possible for a new feature- something like this to check purchases with ajax requests?
