Imgur images returning 403
imgur, javascript, reactjs
Solution
Imgur's CDN seems to restrict access to images from a `127.0.0.1` referer. This has been reported to them as an issue (matter of server configuration).
Meanwhile try to change your dev server host from `127.0.0.1` to `localhost` or maybe your real IP address.
Problem
I've been making a react app and recently whenever I try to access images from imgur like so ``` this.setState({ imgUrl: `https://i.imgur.com/${this.props.image.id}b.png`, imgBigUrl: `https://i.imgur.com/${this.props.image.id}l.png` }); ``` And it's being rendered like this ``` <img src={this.state.imgUrl}/> ``` But I keep getting 403 forbidden, but when I use postman or visit it in the browser it's fine. I'm also accessing the API by passing in an album url like `https://imgur.com/gallery/zrUFj` and getting all the images from there to be displayed in the app (where i get 403 errors) I'm unsure where I could be have done something wrong, I've also tried getting a new client ID for the API authorization, still hasn't worked. Anyone have any suggestions?
