@aabidsofi19 @pranjalg1331, I have updated the NGINX configuration on playground.meshery.io to allow requests originating from meshery.io (i.e. meshery.io/catalog).
While calls from the sendCloudTelemetry() function are now allowed, they fail to execute, because the API being used requires authentication.

Example: https://playground.meshery.io/api/pattern/download/df24a01a-8235-449f-8dad-4a2474059ad3

Alternatively, https://cloud.layer5.io/system/api/docs#tag/catalog might be able to be used, but it doesn’t seem to have a direct way to include pattern by ID.

https://cloud.layer5.io/api/content/patterns/df24a01a-8235-449f-8dad-4a2474059ad3 is another API that could be used. For published catalog designs, it does not require authentication, and it does log an event. The event action is “view”, however, and would need to be “download”.
