Why is there no proxy?

Question

Nginx

There is a request to a third-party API, let it be https://ws75.aptoide.com/api/7/apps/search?query=asd
There is an nginx.conf config with the lines:

location /api/7/apps/search {
   proxy_pass https://ws75.aptoide.com/;
}

(of course the location is inside the server, which is inside the http)
I have a React app with a form that sends the following request:

fetch('/api/7/apps/search?' + new URLSearchParams({
                query: input.value
            }))

Why is the request https://ws75.aptoide.com/api/7/apps/search?query=asd not being sent ?

Answer 1

Read about the terminating slash in the directive proxy_pass, figure out what it does.
