Hi !  
I am searching for a way to get the users list in chat.  
I tried using [https://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/CHANNEL/chatters](https://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/CHANNEL/chatters)  
but I get a CORS policy error when I try a XMLHttpRequest.

do you have any idea of how I can achieve that ?

Don’t make the call in front end code.  
Make the call via a server.

There is no solution to this without using a server.  
Since you cannot bypass the CORS requirements enforced by the server you are making requests to.

Basically Twitch is blocking you from doing _exactly_ what you are trying to do.

Oh… Okay so I’ll make a server and try to fetch it from there but what to do exactly ? a cURL?

Yes a curl.

Or whatever the language of choice you use does to make HTTP requests.
