blocked by CORS policy with nginx docker

Question

Hello I'm trying to fetch data from an API "restCountries", and it's blocked by the CORS policy. I don't undersant why, I've tried to set headers in the index.php file with the header() function, but it has been a fail.

Im working with a docker-compose file "php, php-fpm, mysql, nginx"

My request:

 const getlistOfAllCountries = async () => {
//    const myHeaders = new Headers()
    const responseFromWorldApi = await fetch("https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all", {
        method: 'POST',
    
        headers : {
             'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*',
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        }
        
    }); 
    const listOfAllCountries = await responseFromWorldApi.json(); 

    
}

my default.conf file

server {
 server_name ~.*;


 
 location / {
  root /usr/src/app;
  try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;

        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';
     }

The API https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all doesn't allow to do POST method. Update your method from POST to GET
