const express = require("express");
const axios = require("axios");

const app = express();
const PORT = 3000;

// Route that connects to an external API
app.get("/users", async (req, res) => {
try {
const response = await axios.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users");
res.json(response.data);
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ message: "Error fetching API data" });
}
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(Server running on port ${PORT});
});

3. Run the Server
   node server.js

Then open:

http://localhost:3000/users

Your Node server connects to the API and returns the data.

4. Alternative Using Native fetch (Node 18+)
   const express = require("express");

const app = express();

app.get("/posts", async (req, res) => {
const response = await fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");
const data = await response.json();
res.json(data);
});

app.listen(3000);

✅ Flow:

Client → server.js → External API → server.js → Client
