CORs error when making get requests Github API

Describe the issue I’m trying to authenticate over OAUTH API using Axios. The initial request is just a simple GET to get the auth token.

…from origin ‘http://localhost:3001’ has been blocked by CORS policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.

I can use an href link and it works totally fine. What could be the issue here?

Example Code

  axios.get(
    "https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=$ID"
  ).then((res) => { console.log(res) })

Expected behavior, if applicable A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Environment:

• Axios Version 0.19beta
• OS: OSX 10.13.4]
• Browser chrome
• Browser Version latest
• Additional Library Versions react Additional context/Screenshots Add any other context about the problem here. If applicable, add screenshots to help explain.

Try to set headers in your HTTP request. See the example code

axios.get('https://google.com', {
 headers: {
   "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
 }
});

@moyid :

However, the OAuth request can work as a link, it would return the code by appending it to the current URL, and then you can get the code from the URL by using regex – this can be one of the few hacky solutions to this problem!

Could you please elaborate on this a bit more? Or url to an example would be great help. 😄
