“Cross-Origin Request Blocked” with oEmbed?

Question

As of today, when I try to embed a sound with SoundCloud oEmbed I get the following Javascript error:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked

Is this something I can fix on my server side or is this an issue which came up on SoundCloud's side?

Answer 1

I found the issue. SoundCloud must have accidentally updated their oEmbed URL. Their oembed API URL is now http://soundcloud.com/oembed instead of http://soundcloud.com/oembed.json . The SoundCloud Javascript SDK still uses soundcloud.com/oembed.json (now a 404 page) for its oEmbed function.

It's probably a mistake that was made while updating their server configuration/security and we can only hope they fix this as soon as possible.

Answer 2

Indeed it was a bad routing change. Apologies for the interruption! Fix is now live.
