Error using PDF Embed API on localhost

[Switch5EBE]

I created a new key but I'm getting 401 error. I'm allowing localhost but I receive:

Could you share your code?

[Raymond Camden]

I see you are using a template language. When your site is run, View Source, and confirm you see the right client ID there.

I created a new key and it worked, thanks for the support!

I'm having a similar issue with this trying to utilize ionic capacitor, so my domain on the app is capacitor://localhost . I have created a localhost key, but still getting the error "This application domain (capacitor://localhost) is not authorized to use the provided PDF Embed API Client ID" - Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

[Raymond Camden]

If you used https://localhost, that is not the same as capacitor://localhost.

[daniels48252560]

Thanks for the response - I am unable to add capacitor://localhost to the domain when creating a new client ID - receiving this error:

[Raymond Camden]

Yep, not surprised, as it's not a valid domain. I don't think you will be able to use PDF Embed w/ Capicitor, or Cordova in general. 

[daniels48252560]

Thanks for the response - so is there no wildcard or workaround for this i.e. no way for Adobe to allow adding the capacitor://localhost to an approved domain?

[Raymond Camden]

Sorry, nope.

it works for me, following these steps:

1. create a credential as "localhost" domain

2. generate the html or whatever you'r using

3. in VS CODE use the extension live server ( opens a port  available ) in my case :5500 or just open the port manually

4. in your browser, for me ( chrome ) it would look like these 127.0.0.1:5500/path/path/yourfile.html

5. change the url to localhost:5500/path/path/yourfile.html

127.0.0.1 is the same as localhost, and our domain for the API KEY is localhost so...

NOW IT WORKS!

note: if you use the port :8080 it should be work in your browser with localhost as URL, this is why 8080 is the web default port.

I cannot create a credential for "localhost". I used the adobe developer console and got an error.

Could you explain in more detail how you created the credentials?

[Raymond Camden]

I believe that may have been a temporary error - please try again.

I just tried the exact same thing (ie. I set Allowed doman to localhost) and I'm getting the 'API configuration failed' error like Anna did.

Any clue why?

[Raymond Camden]

Weird, I can't reproduce this at all.

[John27461686yxjo]

Thanks for the quick reply.  here's my scre

ok, I just tried again with a brand new project and it worked.  Don't know what was wrong with my initial attempt, but as long as it works, I'm fine.

query - does it fail on a real domain? like raymondcamden.com ?
