I am building an Angular app which takes data from a WordPress installation on a separate server (which I have access to), via the WordPress REST API. Effectively the Wordpress server provides a CMS and content, while the frontend is handled by Angular.
My Angular app is currently accessing the WordPress API directly, but I could instead set up a simple server-side Express endpoint on the same box as the Angular app, to serve as an intermediary between the two - diagram here.
Is there any benefit (e.g. security) to the second option? Other than some CORS issues which I was able to resolve, I have the setup outlined in the first option working.
Also it would be good to know if the answer is different in cases where I don't have access to the API server, e.g. if I was accessing the Twitter API.
