The Yellowfin JavaScript API is dependent on Cross Origin Resource Sharing(CORS). By default, any CORS request that is made to the Yellowfin server will be rejected. The first thing you will need to do is enable CORS requests from the server you will be using the JsAPI JS API on.

You can do this by going to the Admin Console in Yellowfin and adding the server URL to the general configuration options. This can be found in Administration -> Configuration -> System -> General Settings

...

Once this is enabled on your Yellowfin server you can start to embed your content.
