We need to check the API to see if it is down and provide visual feedback inside the dashboard UI.
Right now this is rather annoying: in case the API server is down, we get CORS error logs inside the console.
=> the not existing response has no CORS headers. Might be worth creating a ticket on chromium, since this is misleading.
