    Does fetching client side expose a sensitive token?

    @jakub yes, that does matter. It would take me seconds to extract a key from an app like that. Good on Yelp for protecting against stuff like this.

    Oh don't get started on the Yelp API.

    Yes CORS should be enabled, absolutely ridiculous that it doesn't.

    Then you can only extract 200 chars from each review and a random sampling of reviews.

    Seriously, who the fuck designed that un godly sin. It's little like a group of people sat around and asked, how many use cases can we make impossible while still delivering an API.

    He / she should be taken into a back ally and shot, to save the world from their "skills"
