Rasa api cors issue

Rasa Open Source Feedback on Rasa Open Source

Hello. I am new to Rasa. I went through the video series and was able to get rasa functional from the command line. I seem to be running into an issue others have faced though I was not able to locate a “fix” scrounging through forums.

I initiate the server using rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors “*” --debug

When I access ipaddress:5005 or localhost:5005 I see this: Hello from Rasa: 3.5.8

I am using this for my html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <script>
    !(function () {
      let e = document.createElement("script"),
        t = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
      (e.src = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rasa-webchat/lib/index.js"),
        (e.async = !0),
        (e.onload = () => {
          window.WebChat.default(
            {
              socketUrl: "http://localhost:5005",
              // add other props here
            },
            null
          );
        }),
        t.insertBefore(e, t.firstChild);
    })();
  </script>
      </body>
</html>

I have tried a few other example snippets as well. It displays a blank page when I visit the page. Upon inspecting the page I see the following

I assume you want to use the REST channel. You can see docs here. With the rest channel the endpoint would be http://<host>:<port>/webhooks/rest/webhook as shown on that page with a payload as shown there.
