Bypassing CORS via custom proxy backend

1

Glitch

And that is it! You can use the above code and upload it to Glitch, for example, so it can be hosted and accessed if you deploy your frontend app. That's why we require reading the PORT from environment variable (if available) and set a root route to return a simple string, otherwise Glitch would belive the app has an error since nothing is returned.

ExpressJS

Express.js is the first node.js web framework I encountered and is well-suited for this task. We will create a minimal node/express backend application which uses axios as the http library and the cors package to enable CORS on our server (otherwise this whole ordeal would be pointless).
