CORS & System Compatibility
QELLVIS Connect fetches your external API directly from the browser. This requires proper CORS configuration and a compatible system structure. This page defines both requirements clearly and officially.
QELLVIS Connect performs a direct browser request to your API. Your API must explicitly allow cross‑origin requests.
- • must allow POST and OPTIONS
- • must return Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * or your domain
- • must allow Authorization header if used
- • must return valid JSON
Minimal CORS implementation (Node.js / Express):
app.use((req, res, next) => {
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, OPTIONS");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Content-Type, Authorization");
if (req.method === "OPTIONS") return res.sendStatus(200);
next();
});Minimal CORS implementation (Next.js Route Handler):
export async function OPTIONS() {
return new Response(null, {
status: 200,
headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "POST, OPTIONS",
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type, Authorization",
},
});
}QELLVIS interprets structure — not business logic. Any system that can output nodes and dependencies is compatible.
Compatible system types include:
- • Microservice architectures
- • Event‑driven systems
- • Data pipelines
- • ETL / ELT flows
- • Task dependency graphs
- • Workflow engines
- • Supply chain structures
- • Manufacturing process chains
- • CI/CD pipelines
- • Kubernetes dependency graphs
- • CRM / ERP process flows
- • Graph‑based systems
- • Any system with nodes + directional dependencies
If your system can output a list of nodes and a list of dependencies, QELLVIS can analyze it — regardless of domain or technology.
Your API must return a structure compatible with the QELLVIS adapter:
{
"nodes": [
{ "id": "A", "load": 10, "status": "optional" }
],
"dependencies": [
{ "from": "A", "to": "B" }
]
}Alternative keys supported: payload, system, record, data, graph.
