I suspect that the issue is happening because your code it adding the `Api-Key` and `Api-Username` as query parameters to the `GET` request. The `Api-Key` and `Api-Username` needed to be included in the request’s headers, not as query parameters. There is a curl example of how to set this up in the Authentication section that is near the top of this page: [https://docs.discourse.org/](https://docs.discourse.org/).

Issue resolved by my self  
fetchCategory() {  
const headers = new HttpHeaders()  
.set(‘Api-Key’, ‘123456’)  
.set(‘Api-Username’, ‘abcd’);  
const result = this.http.get(‘[https://url.json](https://url.json)’,{headers }); return result;  
}  
And also i enabled the cors from by browser and now its working fine
