yammer js sdk issues

Question

We are experiencing the following error when accessing Yammer API.

JQMIGRATE: jQuery.parseJSON requires a valid JSON string platfor..._sdk.js (line 31) Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/suggestions.json. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.

Ref: Yammer JS SDK — problems with CORS Here, it is said that the issue is resolved. But we are still facing the issue. Please confirm if the issue is resolved.

Best regards, Parameswaran.

When using the Yammer JS SDK you'll need to reference api.yammer.com instead of www.yammer.com/api/v1.

Or better yet, if you want to clean up the url you can omit the protocol, domain, and extras (/api/v1) and include the REST resource (suggestions in your case) and the output format (json). See example below:

yam.getLoginStatus(
  function(response) {


   if (response.authResponse) {
      console.log("logged in");
      yam.platform.request({
        url: "suggestions.json",     //this is one of many REST endpoints that are available
        method: "GET",
        data: {    //use the data object literal to specify parameters, as documented in the REST API section of this developer site
          "letter": "a",
          "page": "2",
        },
        success: function (user) { //print message response information to the console
          alert("The request was successful.");
          console.dir(user);
        },
        error: function (user) {
          alert("There was an error with the request.");
        }
      });
    }
    else {
      alert("not logged in")
    }
  }
);
