I uploaded a site using API, but the API is not working despite being fine while running on my computer. Any workaround?
Git will not run an API for you. Git is for storing/sharing/versioning code, not for running code. You can run static sites from git pages, but if you want servers to run, you’ll have to host them somewhere else. There are places you can host servers for free, like heroku.

Sorry that question is misphrased
I’m trying to upload a site with API to github pages, but the API within the website is not working properly because it’s unsecure
but the API within the website is not working properly
Can you clarify what that means. An API stored on github will never “work”, it can’t run on github.
Okay let me clarity since I’m new to API
So I used an API based on this GitHub - Hipo/university-domains-list-api: The API server for the University Domains
and it worked well, I created a site where you can search for universities.
Come time to upload it, the API don’t work, and I’ve heard suggestions online that it’s because the API link isn’t HTTPS but rather HTTP
So in short, the API call don’t work when uploaded in GitHub or netlify, despite working in local computer with my files
Hi there , check this
OK, just to be clear, you are hosting a static site on github pages. The “API” to which you are referring is an external API on an external server?
For that, I wouldn’t say that you’re site is “using API” or refer to the “API within the website”. I would say that your site is making an HTTP request to an external server/API. Take a look at what medaminefh is saying.
Wait so
https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/ is a CORS API
and http://universities.hipolabs.com/search is my endpoint
so i combine those two?
