Blocked insecure request to URL

[hashdrone3]

I am making a call to a REST API. I am getting the error below:

[12:22:07 AM]Blocked insecure request to URL: Its an HTTP URL. 

I read that we can make calls only to an HTTPS URL. This is a public URL maintained by a third party vendor and I can't change it. 

Any advice about how to resolve this?

Thank you for your time.

I gave permissions for internet in package.json.

It's got to be HTTPS. You could try setting up a proxy server in the middle. Big job, though, and could cost $.

Hmm.. i thought about it but that would be expensive.. any other options?

I've been using https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com and it works very well.

Thank you. It works like a charm.

This now seems to be broken at fitbit app update 3.11.  Boooo.
