Hi Everyone, I’m stuck on video: Project- Building a Video Games Discovery App- Fetching the Games. here’s the error message showed on the browser: Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘[https://api.rawg.io/api/games?key=ee56abc41bf2421fa1df42aabed3xxxx](https://api.rawg.io/api/games?key=ee56abc41bf2421fa1df42aabed3xxxx)’ from origin ‘[http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173)’ has been blocked by CORS policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.

Hi, I’ve found the problem. The problem is on my RAWG’s API account, The Number of requests left for the period is -2412. Note: I think because I forgot to put dependency when calling useEffect() ---

You can try creating a new account, don’t forget to add the square brackets in useEffect previously. ---

I’m having the same issue, i created a new account but looks like its going the same direction. Could anyone provide a code snippet of the effect hook usage in this project? Or let me know how/why my app is firing so many requests to the API? Thanks, Jim ---

Like mentioned above you may not be passing the square brackets`[]` as an optional second parameter to your effect hook. If you don’t include that it can run infinitely. ---

It’ll be something like `useEffect(() => {...}, []);` ---

I’ve encountered that CORS error before, and it can be pretty frustrating. Usually, it’s a security feature to protect against unauthorized requests. To fix it, you might need to configure your API to allow requests from your local host. I did that to play the [free dominoes game app](https://wealthofgeeks.com/apps-that-pay-you-to-play-games/). Don’t worry; you’ll get past this hiccup and keep building your Video Games Discovery App! ---

You can resolve the CORS issue by setting up a server-side proxy to make the API request or by checking the API documentation for required headers or keys. Greece Powerball results ---
