Hello, it's been a while. I have a project at university where i am trying to retrieve game price with steam api in a json return. Thing it, i get this error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://store.steampowered.com/api/a...price_overview. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'mywebsite.com' is therefore not allowed access.


and the code is something like this.

PHP Code:

var SteamStoreURL = "https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails/?appids=" + GameID + "&cc=gb&filters=price_overview";


$.getJSON(SteamStoreURL, function(data)
{
    var URLString = JSON.parse(data);

    console.log(URLString);
}); 


I really cannot get it to work. I am not a super web developer or something like that, but any help would be appreciated. I just want to retrieve the game current price using json javascript.

I would suggest ask on stack overflow.

It happens because of the Same-origin policy. There may be ways to avoid it (search, I'm not sure), but if you are not only creating the page but also have a server, download the page on the server and serve it to your JavaScript through an API.

There are quite a few pre-existing proxies out there for bypassing same-origin requirements if you don't want to host your own - obviously best not to rely on one for anything critical though.
