gm guys
In my NextJS app, I have a server I call through an API from the front end
This API itself calls a lot of APIs, and I noticed recently that some of the API does not work if I don't add this specific header (thks chatgpt)
This is how I used to call my

const response = await axios.get(chain.api_url, {
      params: {
        module: "account",
        action: type,
        address,
        offset: sizeOffset, //Number of transaction (increase to 100 later)
        sort: "desc",
        apikey: chain.api_key,
      },
    });

And now:

const response = await axios.get(chain.api_url, {
      params: {
        module: "account",
        action: type,
        address,
        offset: sizeOffset, //Number of transaction (increase to 100 later)
        sort: "desc",
        apikey: chain.api_key,
      },
      headers: {
        "User-Agent":
          "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36",
      },
    });

With the header, it works.
I mean... it works on localhost, but once I deploy the app on Vercel, it doesn't work
It is much harder to debug since I don't have the console to read the logs once hosted, how can I solve this?

I noticed I can read the logs on vercel, but only some of them
is there a trick to have access to all the logs?

I assume you know what a user agent is?

I don't know whether those APIs are controllable by you, but I know some API services will check for user agents to decide whether to proceed. e.g. prevent bot spamming. Not sure if that's the case for you.

User agents are typically injected automatically that contain info about the caller of the API.

Stuff like the OS, browser, browser version, whether it is a bot, etc.

That's why I'm wondering whether the API is explicitly blocking certain user agents

Well, that's that API exactly?
