Description

The idea is to enhance the security by restricting the clients to interact with the API only via GET requests. We need to add appropriate handler code and Access-Control-Allow-Methods response header.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a new route handler for OPTIONS requests that returns the Access Control Allow Methods header (e.g., GET) and ensure the server handles CORS preflight requests.
