Cross-Origin Request Blocked

I’m trying to make a request using Jquery and keep getting the Cross-origin block. I am wondering if this is a problem on my end or if lingq server is denying me access to API.

Error message is at the bottom, any help is much appreciated.

var settings = {
“async”: true,
“crossDomain”: true,
“url”: “https://www.lingq.com/api/languages/en/lessons/108135/text/”,
“method”: “GET”,
“headers”: {
“authorization”: “Token MY_API_KEY”,
“cache-control”: “no-cache”,
},
“Access-Control-Allow-Origin”: “*”
}

$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
});

my solution was to stop making the request through chrome and instead make it through node js. you could also use postman or whatever lang you want

Try jsonp, but that still may not work if CORS isn’t enabled on Lingq…then I’d do what matchaking suggests.
