Hello all, I am working on a Shopify app, and with it a theme extension to pull data from my database and display it for users. I've gone through all the posts I could find about this topic and tried all the suggestions I found, however I am still getting either a CORS error or a 404 not found for my api endpoint.
I have set up an app proxy in my partner's dashboard and I updated the proxy URL every time it's updated. I am using the default cloudflare tunnel setup.
I am using the Remix template, here is my folder structure
Project{
app{
routes{
api{
data.server.js //MY ENDPOINT
}
}
}
EXTENSIONS{
My_Extension{
blocks{
App_block.liquid //MY APP BLOCK
}
}
}
}
In my App Block I am trying to fetch data from my data.server.js using an App proxy. This returns a 404 error. I added fetch options and headers to try and solve the problem with no luck. If I use the cloudflare tunnel URL in my fetch, I will get the cors policy, that's why I have 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': 'https://{STORE-NAME}.myshopify.com' as an option.
async function fetchData() {
try {
const response = await fetch('/apps/api', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': 'https://{STORE-NAME}.myshopify.com',
}
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Network response was not ok ' + response.statusText);
}
const data = await response.json();
const container = document.getElementById('app-block-container');
container.innerText = JSON.stringify(data, null, 2);
} catch (error) {
console.error('There has been a problem with your fetch operation:', error);
}
}
fetchData();
And then my data.server.js
import { authenticate } from "../../shopify.server";
import prisma from '../../db.server';
export let data = async ({ request }) => {
try {
const shopy = await authenticate.admin(request);
const allModels = await prisma.MY_DATA.findMany({
where: {
shop: { equals: shopy.session.shop}
},
});
return {
status: 200,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': 'https://{STORE-NAME}.myshopify.com',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, OPTIONS',
},
data: JSON.stringify(allModels),
};
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
return {
status: 500,
data: 'An error occurred while fetching data.',
};
} finally {
await prisma.$disconnect();
}
};
I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Like I said, I've looked through a bunch of posts, it seems like a relatively common problem, but without any luck on solving it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
I fixed my issue.
My proxy URL changed to .....cloudflare.com/MY_ENDPOINT

Hi, @DevBijan
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Currently, I am in the same problem: I have to fetch an application route from a block.
With the example you give above, with the subpath 'api' and proxy url '....cloudflare.com/my_endpoint'. What url do you fetch?
Hey, I am fetching '/prefix/subpath' so for example: '/apps/api'
Thank you so much!
And if that's not too many questions... What URL proxy do you have in the configuration and what route do you use in the app?
Is it necessary to reinstall the app?
You can name the route inside your app anything you want. For me my route is 'modelData.jsx' so my proxy url is '...cloudflare.com/modelData'
This will result in fetch('/apps/api') to fetch from '...cloudflare.com/modelData'
If everything is set up correctly but not working during testing, try reinstalling the app to your store.
Exact! After reinstalling it worked.
Thank you so much!
Hello DevBijan,
I am stuck a same as you.
1) I add file to main folder getData.jsx as per your solution
2) Reinstalled app
My proxy URL apps/api
ENDPOINT getData
I am using ngrok for tunnel
On My console network api error show 302 and auth login 404 not found.
Hello,
make sure to double check that the app-proxy url is using the same ngrok tunnel url. It doesn't update automatically so you will need to adjust your app setup each time.
If your path is /apps/api and you have a tunnel url that looks like: ....ngrok.com/getData
you can do a fetch statement like this via an app block.
Hi Dev,
Thanks for reply i figure out the issue, I add admin auth that's why not fetch api, when i change to public auth its work.
Thanks Dev.
Hi Irfan, please what do you mean by public auth? As I am having the same issue as you.
Thank you.
How did you fix auth login 404 error? My server (remix) returns auth login 404 to the client, and I am not sure why.
export const action = async ({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) => {
const { session } = await authenticate.public.appProxy(request);
return json(
{ status: 200 },
);
};
Hi, I'm also having the auth login 404 error. Did you ever fix it?
Oh nice thank you! I'll try to implement cors. However, I may ask for help later if I can't figure it out.
Can you explain how you got it to work? Been trying to implement cors but I'm unable to get past the /auth/login error.
It is something like this.
```
```
I still get the same error. I guess my issue is from something else. Thank you for helping out!
I encounter a similar problem when attempting to fetch data from my Shopify Remix app to the Checkout UI, resulting in a CORS error.
Make sure you are setting CORS headers.
My fetch looks like this:
const response = await fetch('/apps/ymm' + queryParams, {
method: 'GET',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
});
I'm using the latest remix template so i need to use this above ,It's in the docshttps://shopify.dev/docs/api/shopify-app-remix/v2/authenticate. Any one having this problem in the latest template can go through this docs
The main folder is/app/routes/ ?
I created a template in /app/routes/ that imports actions from another template located in the /app/routes/api/createTemplate directory.
I've had this headache for several days.
Can you tell me if I added any wrong parameters to get to Prisma?
I'm having http 404 error.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but it is still the same
this is my fetch call
this is my action function
is there anything I'm doing wrong? @DevBijan @iffikhan30
Thank you
Hey I would recommend going into your network tab in the browser console and making sure the link to the resource is set correctly. You are getting a 404 which means the data can't be found at the link it's searching. Go to the actual link you are trying to fetch and see if there is a page of JSON information. Nothing appears to be wrong with your code otherwise (at least nothing I can see right now).
You should point the proxy at a Remix route and not the server, so, for example:
app/routes folder:
app.api.jsx
Then the App Proxy URL would be:
https://mydomain.trycloudflare.com/app/api
Then your fetch() URL would be like:
/subpath_prefix/subpath
Which would actually be:
/apps/api
Note that, you don't have to add the domain part of the URL, in the fetch() URL param.
Please remember that form POST requests, hit the:
Remix action() method
And GET requests, hit the:
Remix loader() method
