External API calling Issue

Are you looking for help?

This is a support forum for reporting issues related to Backendless services. Please note that due to our support policy we cannot provide you help with debugging your code, consulting in regards to any language or third-party library usage. For this kind of questions we recommend using more appropriate forums like Stack Overflow.

In order to suggest you a quality solution, we shall usually ask you to provide the details mentioned below first. Including them into your topic right away helps us to start investigating your issue much faster.

In case you have a suggestion or an idea, the details below are not always required, though still any additional background is welcome.

Backendless Version (3.x / 6.x, Online / Managed / Pro )

Client SDK (REST / Android / Objective-C / Swift / JS )

Application ID

Expected Behavior

Please describe the expected behavior of the issue, starting from the first action.

  1. We are experimenting with Backendless. We would like to build the UI with backendless and call our existing process APIs behind the UI controls
  2. However, it appears that this functionality to call external (our) APIs is not available with a Trial version?

Actual Behavior

Please provide a description of what actually happens, working from the same starting point.

Be descriptive: “it doesn’t work” does not describe what the behavior actually is – instead, say “the request returns a 400 error with message XXX”. Copy and paste your logs, and include any URLs.

  1. Whenever we call external api using Network API, we are getting error like “Error: Requests from the browser are not allowed on the Developer plan, except from localhost.” and also error code 426
  2. Screenshot 2021-09-14 at 9.52.16 AM|690x246

Reproducible Test Case

Please provide a simple code that could be run in a new clean app and reproduce the issue.

If the issue is more complex or requires configuration, please provide a link to a project on Github that reproduces the issue.!

The error you are getting comes from the actual third party service (it is newsapi.org and NOT backendless). Check the subscription you have with that service.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks.
