Adding Hosts to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

Introduction to CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)

CORS, or Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is a fundamental web security mechanism, it defines the rules for when and how a web page hosted on one domain can make requests to access resources, such as data or services, on another domain. CORS is a crucial aspect of web security, as it helps prevent malicious websites from making unauthorized requests to sensitive data.

Understanding Allowed CORS hosts

In Limio the Allowed CORS hosts list serves as a whitelist, permitting specific domains to make cross-origin requests to the Limio API and access its resources.

The list allows "headless" access to APIs. This means that services or scripts running on servers or in environments without a traditional web browser (i.e., headless) can still make secure requests to the Limio API.
