I'm developing a Stack Chrome extension that will make use of the API. I'm following the instructions on the API docs here.

My OAuth and host websites are set to stackexchange.com in my Stack Apps settings.

I am using SE.init() to initialise an API call.

My channelURL is set to https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/proxy as instructed, but when I try and call init it throws:

Uncaught channelUrl must be under the current domain

I've read through many other threads about using localhost etc but I'm not using any of that. Am I misunderstanding something?

  • From the docs: channelUrl – a blank page under the same domain as the including page.. I don't think you own the domain stackexchange.com and due that fact your channelUrl should not point to api.stackexchange.com/docs/proxy but to an endpoint/page on your server.

  • I see, I think I understand now however I do not actually have a server on my end. Instead, I think I'll use localhost and React. I will update how it goes. Commented Jan 16, 2023 at 19:54
