You need to redirect the user to Twitch, not perform an axios.get
In the server
res.redirect('https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client_id=etc&response_type=code');
or in HTML
<a href="https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?client_id=etc&response_type=code">Login with Twitch</a>
Not axios.getting it, thats why you keep getting a CORS error.
It seems you need a
<a href="hostapi:portapi/twitchAuth">Login with Twitch</a>
Not getting with with axios
