Enable CORS in React app

Question

I am setting up a React application that extracts from a public API. When I am testing the API in Postman, it works without problems. But if I use fetch() in my React app, I get a CORS error.

As far as I have understood, my client request should be allowed on the server using headers. But I don't own the server hosting the API, so I cannot do anything on the server. The API is configured to be used by third party applications using an access code, so I am a bit confused why it's not allowed to extract from the API in React.

What are my options?

if you don't have server access then you can bypass it
