You can replace the base url with your localhost base url which you use to redirect to the node js server. e.g http://localhost:5000
Also locally, you do not have to include the headers, X-RapidAPI-Host and X-RapidAPI-Key.
But you have to iclude the apikey header which can be generated from the generate-api-key endpoint.
