Getting a 401 Unauthorized Error – What Am I Missing? or Why Do I Keep Seeing 401 Unauthorized? Commo

Dude, same. My 401 nightmare was CORS-related. The API was rejecting preflight requests silently.

Try adding `'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'` to your headers temporarily (just for testing, obv).

If it works, you’ll need to configure CORS properly server-side. Chrome dev tools’ “Network” tab saved me here.
