Solution retrospective


The challenge here was figuring out how to get around CORS issues, so I wrote a backend proxy and deployed that first. Since I was calling the API through a backend and piping it to the front end, I could not use the default API call to get the location of the user's IP, so I had to add an additional API service, ipify, to get the front end user's IP. The rest was not so bad, but learned a lot!
