API returning error and also CORS error

I am trying to use this API, which I found on the website https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/. The objective is to return a random word for my wordle game. The problem is that it is not returning the grid anymore, when I try to click in any of the options it returns some errors on the console, as shown in the image below. I spotted that the undefined error happens probably because there is no word to generate the grids. I found it weird that it is returning a CORS error, for being backend stuff, and tried to look into the API's website and entering in the https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/word to see what happens, and it is returning a java error

like I said in #chit-chat, this is not something you can fix or that you did wrong. You will have to find a different API to use

Pi, a future fluent jp speakerOP•6mo ago

that is it then? so sad the API died :(

Jochem•6mo ago

the CORS error is honestly probably caused by the same

Pi, a future fluent jp speakerOP•6mo ago

tbh I'm thinking in learning backend to make my own api for this game

Jochem•6mo ago

not a bad idea. This kind of API is an excellent beginner project for learning how to build APIs

Pi, a future fluent jp speakerOP•6mo ago

I found a new API. bug fixed https://random-word.ryanrk.com/api/en/word/random/?length=6

Jochem•6mo ago

nice!

Pi, a future fluent jp speakerOP•6mo ago

Now I am having a trouble with deployment on vercel where do I ask? ;-; nvm I fixed it too

Jochem•6mo ago

#os-and-tools has a hosting tag

Pi, a future fluent jp speakerOP•6mo ago

thx

clevermissfox•6mo ago

You can also try to contact the api peeps(if they’re active) and let them know there’s a Cors error . I had to do that with a Stephan king api last month and they fixed it

glutonium•6mo ago

why do u want the api to return a grid?

Pi, a future fluent jp speakerOP•6mo ago

it is not the api that returns a grid
