Can you explain how Cloudflare's CORS configuration affects API requests?

Cloudflare's CORS settings are particularly important for API requests. If an API endpoint is not configured with CORS, browsers will block requests to that endpoint, even if the API itself is accessible. By setting CORS to `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` (or a specific origin), you allow all origins to access the API, but it's best practice to restrict this to the specific domains your API needs to serve.
