# Enable CORS on a resource using the API Gateway import API
<a name="enable-cors-for-resource-using-swagger-importer-tool"></a>

If you are using the [API Gateway Import API](api-gateway-import-api.md), you can set up CORS support using an OpenAPI file. You must first define an `OPTIONS` method in your resource that returns the required headers.

**Note**  
Web browsers expect Access-Control-Allow-Headers, and Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers to be set up in each API method that accepts CORS requests. In addition, some browsers first make an HTTP request to an `OPTIONS` method in the same resource, and then expect to receive the same headers.

## Example `Options` method
<a name="enable-cors-for-resource-using-swagger-importer-tool-options"></a>

The following example creates an `OPTIONS` method for a mock integration.

```

Once you have configured the `OPTIONS` method for your resource, you can add the required headers to the other methods in the same resource that need to accept CORS requests.

1. Declare the **Access-Control-Allow-Origin** and **Headers** to the response types.
